Super-Skrull's fourth ability costs 5U and forces an opponent to draw four cards; Smothering Tithe triggers four times off that draw, and Primal Vigor doubles each resulting Treasure token, netting the six mana needed to repeat. The loop sits in 5-color, which means any WUBRG commander — Kenrith, the Returned King, Najeela, the Blade-Blossom — can assemble it, but the three-piece requirement and the fragility of Smothering Tithe to enchantment removal make the setup cost real.

How it works

Prerequisites

An opponent cannot pay for Smothering Tithe's trigger more than once. If the opponent can pay for Smothering Tithe's trigger more times, you can still perform the combo if you have enough mana to outlast their mana supply. You can also continue this combo for other opponents if mana allows. The extra mana can be used to activate any of Super-Skrull's abilities.

Steps

Activate Super-Skrull's fourth ability by paying , causing an opponent to draw four cards.
Smothering Tithe triggers four times, causing you to create two Treasure tokens for each time the opponent cannot pay for the trigger.
Activate six Treasures by tapping and sacrificing them, adding .
Repeat.

Result

Infinite card draw for any number of opponents; Infinite draw triggers for any number of opponents; Near-infinite ETB; Near-infinite Treasure tokens; Near-infinite card draw; Near-infinite colored mana; Near-infinite creature tokens; Near-infinite draw triggers; Near-infinitely large creature until end of turn

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Without Primal Vigor, Smothering Tithe's triggers alone don't recoup the activation cost, so the doubling effect isn't optional — it's load-bearing. Parallel Lives replaces Primal Vigor if giving opponents the token benefit matters in the pod. The Treasure flood converts directly into a kill through Reckless Fireweaver or a massive fireball via Crackle with Power, since Super-Skrull's own pump ability can also absorb the surplus mana.
