Toph, the First Metalbender turns Staff of Domination into a Swamp, and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth makes that Swamp tap for black mana; Regal Behemoth doubles that mana, producing two black per tap and funding Staff's 1-mana untap ability with one left over. The loop requires monarch status as the fuel — Regal Behemoth grants it on entry, but the table will fight to take it, making this combo more fragile than its piece count suggests.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

You are the monarch.

02

Steps

  1. Activate Staff of Domination by tapping it, adding {B} as it's a Swamp land due to Toph and Urborg
  2. Regal Behemoth triggers, adding {B}.
  3. Activate Staff of Domination's first ability by paying {1}, untapping it.
  4. Repeat.

03

Result

Infinite lifegain triggers; Infinite lifegain; Infinite card draw; Infinite untap of creatures you control; Infinite draw triggers; Infinite mana creatures you control can produce; Infinite black mana

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Any additional mana doubler that applies to lands — Mana Flare, Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger — can substitute for Regal Behemoth, though most lose the monarch draw engine that makes the loop self-sustaining. Once black mana goes infinite, Walking Ballista or any X-cost drain spell closes the game; Staff of Domination's own life-gain and draw abilities are sufficient finishers if the loop runs long enough.
