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.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

02

Steps

  1. Activate Staff of Domination by tapping it, adding {G} as it's a Forest land due to Toph and Yavimaya.
  2. Nikya of the Old Ways triggers, adding {G}.
  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 green mana; Infinite untap of creatures you control; Infinite draw triggers; Infinite mana creatures you control can produce

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.
