Kenrith, the Returned King's 3U activated ability forces an opponent to draw; if that opponent can't pay Smothering Tithe's trigger, you create a Treasure, which Xorn doubles to two, which Exalted Sunborn bumps to four — exactly enough to replay the activation. The loop self-funds indefinitely and keeps running through each opponent at the table who can't pay the tax.

Recipe

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 Xorn.
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

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Xorn can be swapped for Avarice Totem-adjacent doublers, but the four-Treasure threshold set by Exalted Sunborn is non-negotiable — drop either Xorn or Exalted Sunborn and the loop collapses. Because the kill is forced decking rather than damage, opponents with Laboratory Maniac effects survive; keep a removal piece ready or pivot to a second win condition before spinning the loop.
