Toph, the First Metalbender gives Staff of Domination a land type, and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth makes every land a Swamp — so the Staff taps for black mana. Nyxbloom Ancient triples that output to 3 black per tap, which more than covers the 1 generic to untap the Staff via its own first ability, generating infinite black mana, infinite lifegain, and infinite card draw in the same loop.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

02

Steps

  1. Activate Staff of Domination by tapping it, adding {B} as it's a Swamp land due to Toph and Urborg, and adding another {B}{B} due to Nyxbloom Ancient
  2. Activate Staff of Domination's first ability by paying {1}, untapping it.
  3. 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

Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth is the hardest piece to replace since it's the bridge between Toph's land-type grant and actual mana production — Blanket of Night does the same work if Urborg is unavailable. Once the loop is running, the infinite draw empties the library, so a Laboratory Maniac or Thassa's Oracle in the 99 closes the game; without one, the mana itself won't win alone.
