Toph, the First Metalbender and Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth together make Staff of Domination a Forest, so tapping it produces green mana. Nikya of the Old Ways doubles that mana on each tap, generating enough to pay Staff's 1-mana untap ability and net mana on every loop. The result is an infinite mana engine that also draws the entire deck and gains infinite life through Staff's activated abilities.

Variations
Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines
Nyxbloom Ancient substitutes for Nikya of the Old Ways if a non-creature mana tripler is preferred, though it loses the guaranteed doubling on every activation. Finale of Devastation or Craterhoof Behemoth closes the game once the library is drawn — the loop gives infinite mana and a full hand, but the kill still needs a payoff already in the deck.
