Whispering Madness escapes from the graveyard for 2UB, forcing a full hand discard and redraw; Smothering Tithe converts every opponent's drawn card into a Treasure, and four of those Treasures pay the escape cost back. The loop runs in any Esper-or-wider shell that can assemble an enchantment, an instant, and a graveyard — Breya, Etherium Shaper and Atraxa, Praetors' Voice are the natural homes.

Recipe

How it works

Prerequisites

A player has at least four cards in hand. There are at least three additional cards in your graveyard. At least one opponent is unable to pay for Smothering Tithe's trigger.

Steps

Cast Whispering Madness from your graveyard for its escape cost by paying and exiling three cards from your graveyard, causing each player to discard at least four cards and draw at least four cards.
Smothering Tithe triggers for each card drawn by your opponents, creating that many Treasure tokens.
Activate four of the Treasure tokens by tapping and sacrificing them, adding .
Repeat.

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

The hard prerequisite is an opponent who skips the Smothering Tithe payment — at high-powered tables where everyone has two spare mana open, the loop collapses. Narset, Parter of Veils shuts down the draw entirely; cut it before running this in a meta where Narset is common. Aetherflux Reservoir or Thassa's Oracle closes the game once the loop is running — the engine draws the whole table, but does no damage on its own.
