Toph, the First Metalbender and Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth together make Staff of Domination a Forest, so tapping it produces a green mana; Zendikar Resurgent sees a land tapping and adds a second green, giving the two mana needed to untap Staff via its own first ability. Every iteration also draws a card and gains life, turning the loop into a full table-dominating lock. The combo sits in Naya colors, making it natural in Toph-led artifact-land builds that already want Yavimaya and ramp enchantments.

  2. Zendikar Resurgent triggers, adding {G}.
  3. Activate Staff of Domination's first ability by paying {1}, untapping it.
  4. Repeat.

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

Nylea's Presence or Spreading Seas can sub in to grant Staff of Domination a basic land type if Yavimaya is unavailable, though Yavimaya's global effect is cleaner since it covers every artifact Toph animates. With infinite mana on the stack, Finale of Devastation or Walking Ballista closes the game — Zendikar Resurgent's draw engine will find either quickly enough that a dedicated kill card is the only missing piece.
