Faerie Mastermind's activated ability costs 3U and forces each player to draw a card; Smothering Tithe triggers once per opponent who skips the 2-mana tax, and Xorn doubles each Treasure produced, turning three triggers into six tokens. Four Treasures cover the 3U activation cost, leaving the rest as profit to recast, replay, or close the game. This is the centerpiece of a Jeskai stax-combo shell — Smothering Tithe already demands a slot in most white decks, and Faerie Mastermind slots naturally alongside wheel effects and draw-doubling commanders.

How it works

Prerequisites

You have at least three opponents. Opponents are unable to pay for Smothering Tithe's trigger.

Steps

Activate Faerie Mastermind by paying , causing each player to draw a card.
Smothering Tithe triggers for each opponent you have, creating at least six Treasure tokens.
Activate four Treasures by tapping and sacrificing them, adding .
Repeat.

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

Without Xorn, the loop breaks — six tokens before doubling become three, which is exactly breakeven against a 4-mana activation and kills the chain. A fourth opponent gives the redundancy to run this without Xorn if all four opponents skip payment, so table size is a real constraint to plan around. Aetherflux Reservoir or Thassa's Oracle closes the game off the infinite draw; the engine doesn't kill on its own.
