Faerie Mastermind's activated ability costs 3U and draws each player a card; Smothering Tithe triggers once per opponent on each draw, producing three Treasure tokens minimum across three opponents before Primal Vigor doubles each batch. Four Treasures recoup the activation cost, and the loop repeats indefinitely. The catch is explicit in the prerequisites — every opponent must be unable or unwilling to pay the 2 for Smothering Tithe's trigger, so this is most reliable in the late game when mana is committed or opponents are tapped out.

How it works

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Rhystic Study can replace Faerie Mastermind as a draw engine if opponents are already drawing en masse, though it lacks the activated-ability precision to guarantee triggers on demand. Since the loop draws every player's library, a Thassa's Oracle or Laboratory Maniac close is the clean kill — Jace, Wielder of Mysteries works in the same seat and doubles as a commander option for the Azorius pieces.
