Toph, the First Metalbender and Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth together make Staff of Domination a Forest, so tapping it produces green mana; Zhur-Taa Ancient then doubles that mana by adding a second green whenever any land is tapped for mana. The loop nets one mana per cycle — pay 1 to untap the Staff, tap it again, Zhur-Taa refunds a green — and from there the Staff's draw and lifegain activations are unlimited. Naya creature-combo shells that run land-type manipulation are the natural home.

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. Zhur-Taa Ancient 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

Gaea's Cradle or any land that taps for multiple green can substitute as the mana accelerant if Yavimaya is unavailable, but Zhur-Taa Ancient is the harder piece to replace — it's doing the net-positive work here. Once mana goes infinite, the Staff of Domination's draw activation empties the library; pair with Thassa's Oracle or any creature-based win condition already in the Naya pool to close.
