Underworld Breach escapes Windfall by exiling three cards and paying 2U; each opponent who draws without paying Smothering Tithe's 2 produces a Treasure, and three Treasures refund the escape cost. The loop runs in Jeskai wheels commanders — Syr Gwyn aside, the natural home is Narset, Parter of Veils or Niv-Mizzet, Parun, where opponents drawing cards is the entire game plan.

Recipe

How it works

Prerequisites

A player has at least three 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 Windfall from your graveyard for its escape cost by paying and exiling three cards from your graveyard, causing each player to discard at least three cards and draw at least three cards.
Smothering Tithe triggers for each card drawn by your opponents, creating that many Treasure tokens.
Activate three 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

Smothering Tithe's trigger needs at least one opponent skipping the tax every single loop; any table that holds up 2 collapses the engine immediately, so this reads as more fragile than the Underworld Breach + Wheel of Fortune + Jeska's Will line. Pair the infinite draw with Thassa's Oracle or Teferi's Ageless Insight into Laboratory Maniac as the closer — the loop empties libraries but does not win on its own.
