Super-Skrull's fourth ability makes an opponent draw four cards for 5U; Smothering Tithe triggers four times off that single activation, and Xorn doubles each Treasure token created for unpaid triggers, turning two Treasures into four per unpaid trigger. As long as an opponent can't pay the 2 for every trigger, the six Treasures the loop generates refund the activation cost exactly, and each iteration buries opponents in drawn cards while growing Super-Skrull's power.

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

Xorn is the critical multiplier here — without it, four unpaid triggers yield only four Treasures, which falls one short of the 6 needed to repeat the loop, so the engine stalls. Replace Xorn with a second Treasure-doubler like Atsushi, the Blazing Sky or a second Smothering Tithe effect if Xorn is removed, or pivot to an opponent who simply cannot pay at all to eke out the profit margin another way.
