Kenrith, the Returned King's blue activated ability costs 3U to make an opponent draw; Smothering Tithe triggers off that draw, and with both Mondrak, Glory Dominus and Doubling Season on the battlefield the token doublers stack to produce four Treasures per activation — exactly enough to loop indefinitely. The combo requires a target who can't or won't pay the 2 for Smothering Tithe, which is a real dependency; any opponent with two spare mana bricks the whole line.

How it works

Prerequisites

An opponent cannot pay for Smothering Tithe's trigger. Eventually the opponent will lose the game due to drawing from an empty library. You can repeat this loop with other opponents that also cannot pay for Smothering Tithe's trigger.

Steps

Activate Kenrith's fourth ability by paying , causing an opponent who cannot pay for Smothering Tithe's trigger to draw a card.
Smothering Tithe triggers, causing you to create four Treasure tokens due to Doubling Season and Mondrak.
Activate the Treasures by tapping and sacrificing them, adding .
Repeat.

Result

Infinite draw triggers for any number of opponents; Infinite card draw for any number of opponents

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Either token doubler alone halves the output to two Treasures per trigger, which doesn't self-fund 3U — both Doubling Season and Mondrak are load-bearing here, so cutting one breaks the loop entirely. The infinite-draw result doesn't kill opponents on its own; the loop ends when their library is empty and they fail to draw, so speed of kill scales directly with remaining library size.
