Super-Skrull's fourth ability costs 5U and forces an opponent to draw four cards; Smothering Tithe converts each uncontested draw trigger into a Treasure, and four draws from a single activation yield enough Treasures to refund the 5U and repeat. Exalted Sunborn converts the same Treasure flood into a near-infinite power boost on Super-Skrull himself, so the loop closes in combat. The combo runs cleanest when the targeted opponent is out of white mana or simply cannot pay the 2 tax repeatedly.

How it works

Prerequisites

An opponent cannot pay for Smothering Tithe's trigger more than once. If the opponent can pay for Smothering Tithe's trigger more times, you can still perform the combo if you have enough mana to outlast their mana supply. You can also continue this combo for other opponents if mana allows. The extra mana can be used to activate any of Super-Skrull's abilities.

Steps

Activate Super-Skrull's fourth ability by paying , causing an opponent to draw four cards.
Smothering Tithe triggers four times, causing you to create two Treasure tokens for each time the opponent cannot pay for the trigger.
Activate six Treasures by tapping and sacrificing them, adding .
Repeat.

Result

Infinite card draw for any number of opponents; Infinite draw triggers for any number of opponents; Near-infinite ETB; Near-infinite Treasure tokens; Near-infinite card draw; Near-infinite colored mana; Near-infinite creature tokens; Near-infinite draw triggers; Near-infinitely large creature until end of turn

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Any wheel effect — Wheel of Fortune, Windfall — can prime the loop if Super-Skrull isn't yet in play, but neither replaces the repeatable activation here. If Smothering Tithe gets removed, the engine collapses entirely; there is no substitute that converts opponent draw into Treasures at the same rate, so protecting Tithe with Swiftfoot Boots or a counterspell is the real backup plan.
