Kenrith's 3U ability forces an opponent to draw; Smothering Tithe triggers off that draw, and Jolene, the Plunder Queen plus Mondrak, Glory Dominus double the Treasure output twice over — four Treasures per activation nets exactly 3U back to restart the loop. The combo requires an opponent who can't or won't pay the Tithe tax, so it collapses the moment someone floats two white mana.
Recipe
How it works
01
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.
02
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 Jolene and Mondrak.
- Activate the Treasures by tapping and sacrificing them, adding
.
- Repeat.
03
Result
Infinite draw triggers for any number of opponents; Infinite card draw for any number of opponents
Variations
Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines
Without Mondrak, the Treasure doubling drops to two per trigger from Jolene alone, which no longer covers the 3U activation cost — both doublers are load-bearing. There's no clean substitute for a piece here; if Mondrak is removed, pivot to a different Kenrith line entirely. The kill is library depletion through draw, so any opponent running Laboratory Maniac effects survives — target them last.
