Kenrith, the Returned King's 3U activated ability forces an opponent to draw; if that opponent can't pay Smothering Tithe's trigger, Doubling Season and Jolene, the Plunder Queen together quadruple the base one Treasure into four, which exactly covers the 3U activation cost on loop. The combo requires all four permanents and at least one opponent locked out of Smothering Tithe's tax — any disruption to that payment assumption collapses the loop entirely.

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 Jolene.
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

Parallel Lives substitutes for Doubling Season if the doubling effect is the piece under pressure, though it only doubles rather than quadruples, requiring Jolene to still be present for the math to work out to four Treasures. There is no kill condition to add here — forcing draws into an empty library is the win, so the loop is self-contained once the library empties.
