Toph, the First Metalbender and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth together make Staff of Domination a Swamp, so tapping it adds black mana; Zhur-Taa Ancient then doubles that to two, one of which pays Staff's untap ability for a net gain. The result is a self-sustaining loop that cracks open every activated ability on Staff of Domination — infinite life at 3 mana per activation and infinite draw at 4. This is a Naya goodstuff shell at minimum, likely helmed by a commander that cares about lands producing unexpected mana types or artifacts gaining land types.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Urborg is the hardest piece to replace — Blanket of Night fills the same role as a non-legendary enchantment if Urborg is targeted for removal. If Zhur-Taa Ancient is answered, the loop collapses entirely, so protect it with Swiftfoot Boots or Lightning Greaves before going off; the doubling trigger is the engine's heartbeat, not a redundant piece.
