Reforge the Soul escapes from the graveyard for 3RR by exiling three cards; opponents drawing seven each trigger Smothering Tithe repeatedly, and the Treasure tokens produced refund the escape cost to keep looping. The combo lives in red-white Wheel commanders — Lorehold and Breena shells, anything running Smothering Tithe as an engine rather than just a tax piece — and the table sees all of it coming the moment Underworld Breach resolves.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

At least one opponent is unable to pay for Smothering Tithe's trigger. You have at least three other cards in your graveyard, plus an additional three cards between your graveyard and/or hand.

02

Steps

  1. Cast Reforge the Soul from your graveyard for its escape cost by paying {3}{R}{R} and exiling three cards from your graveyard, causing each player to discard their hand and draw seven cards.
  2. Smothering Tithe triggers for each card drawn by your opponents, creating that many Treasure tokens.
  3. Activate five of the Treasure tokens by tapping and sacrificing them, adding {3}{R}{R}.
  4. Repeat.

03

Result

Infinite draw triggers for all players; Infinite looting for all players; Infinite self-discard triggers for all players; Near-infinite colored mana; Near-infinite Treasure tokens

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Wheel of Fortune or Windfall substitutes for Reforge the Soul if the escape cost is harder to meet, though both require more graveyard setup to loop under Underworld Breach. The loop generates near-infinite Treasure but no clean kill by itself — close with Reckless Fireweaver, Monologue Tax payoffs, or Aetherflux Reservoir; the engine fills the hand, the sink ends the game.
