Toph, the First Metalbender makes artifacts into lands, and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth makes every land a Swamp — together they let Staff of Domination tap itself for black mana. Heartbeat of Spring doubles that mana, so each tap produces two black against the one required to untap Staff and restart the loop. The pieces span three colors and two card types, which demands tutors, but any Bant or Naya shell running artifact and land synergies can assemble this.

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
  2. Heartbeat of Spring 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

Without Heartbeat of Spring the loop collapses — there's no substitute that doubles mana in these colors at the same cost, so protecting it against enchantment removal is the deck's primary job. Once the loop runs, Staff of Domination draws the library, so no separate kill is needed; activate the draw ability and find Thassa's Oracle or any wincon already in the hand.
