Kenrith, the Returned King's 3U activated ability forces an opponent to draw; Smothering Tithe triggers on that draw, and with both Mondrak, Glory Dominus and Exalted Sunborn on the field, that single trigger produces four Treasures — exactly enough mana to activate Kenrith again. The loop only works if the opponent can't or won't pay the 2 from Smothering Tithe, so tax-denial support like Collector Ouphe or Damping Sphere tightens the lock considerably.

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 Exalted Sunborn and Mondrak.
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 Mondrak if budget or slot pressure demands it — Anointed Procession replicates the doubling effect and costs less to cast. Because the win condition is library exhaustion rather than direct damage, Thassa's Oracle in the same 5-color shell converts any draw-yourself-out line into an instant win, making it the cleaner closer if the loop gets disrupted mid-sequence.
