Zirda, the Dawnwaker cuts Super-Skrull's fourth ability from 5U to 3U; that ability forces an opponent to draw four cards, which fires Smothering Tithe four times and creates four Treasures that refund the activation cost exactly. The loop runs on the back of a single opponent who can't pay the 2 for each Treasure trigger — one opponent out of mana or tapped out is enough to get the engine turning.

Recipe

How it works

Prerequisites

An opponent cannot pay for Smothering Tithe's trigger. If the opponent can pay for Smothering Tithe's trigger, 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.

Steps

Activate Super-Skrull's fourth ability by paying due to Zirda, causing an opponent to draw four cards.
Smothering Tithe triggers four times, causing you to create four Treasure tokens.
Activate the 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

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Rhystic Study replaces Smothering Tithe as a value piece but doesn't close the loop — the Treasure generation is load-bearing here and has no direct substitute. The loop produces infinite draw for opponents but no direct win condition; pair it with Thassa's Oracle, Jace, Wielder of Mysteries, or Laboratory Maniac on your side to convert the forced draw into kills, since opponents drawing out is a win only if they have no response.
