Faerie Mastermind's activated ability forces a draw for every player; Smothering Tithe triggers for each opponent who skips the 2-mana payment, and with three opponents that's six Treasure tokens per activation — Mondrak, Glory Dominus doubles each token creation, so the Treasure output quickly outpaces the 4-mana cost to recur the loop. The combo lives in Azorius tax and control shells, typically helmed by something like Shorikai, Genesis Engine or Oloro, Ageless Ascetic, where Smothering Tithe is already doing work before the loop assembles.

Result

Infinite card draw for all players; Infinite draw triggers for all players; Near-infinite colored mana; Near-infinite colorless mana; Near-infinite Treasure tokens

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

The combo collapses the moment any opponent pays the Smothering Tithe trigger, so it demands either a tax-heavy board that keeps opponents mana-poor or a single activation window late in the game. Mondrak is the fragile link — it dies to any creature removal and the loop stalls immediately; Anointed Procession fills the same doubling role at a lower threat profile. Once mana goes near-infinite, a Blue Sun's Zenith targeting an opponent or a Thassa's Oracle closes the game cleanly.
