Toph, the First Metalbender makes all artifacts Lands in addition to their other types; Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth then makes every land a Swamp, so Staff of Domination taps for black mana. Nikya of the Old Ways doubles that mana when a creature produces it, generating the second black needed to pay Staff's 1-mana untap activation and loop indefinitely — draw the whole deck, gain infinite life, untap every creature you control.

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

The combo lives or dies on Toph and Nikya both surviving to the turn the loop fires — two creatures that draw immediate removal at any competent table. Seedborn Muse is not a substitute but shores up the fragility by enabling off-turn activations; any creature-based mana doubler like Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger fills Nikya's slot if Nikya is unavailable, though Vorinclex costs two more. Close with Thassa's Oracle or a Ballista cast from hand once the library is empty.
