Kenrith, the Returned King's 3U activated ability forces a target opponent to draw; Smothering Tithe triggers on that draw, and with both Mondrak, Glory Dominus and Primal Vigor doubling token creation, that single trigger creates four Treasures instead of one. Those four Treasures pay exactly 3U to reactivate Kenrith, making the loop self-sustaining against any opponent who can't or won't pay the 2 to stop Smothering Tithe. The table watches opponents draw through their libraries without being able to interact with the mana loop itself.

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 Mondrak and Primal Vigor.
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

Cut either Mondrak or Primal Vigor and the loop collapses — you need both doublers to hit the exact 3U breakeven, so there is no cheaper token-doubler swap without also changing the mana math. If opponents start paying the Smothering Tithe tax, the loop stalls; a Notion Thief or Narset, Parter of Veils on your side redirects opponent draw triggers and sidesteps that problem entirely.
