Toph, the First Metalbender and Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth together make Staff of Domination a Forest, letting it tap for green mana; Mana Reflection doubles that to two green per activation, which is exactly enough to pay the one generic Staff asks to untap itself. Every loop through the cycle draws a card and gains a life, which means the table is watching a library get emptied and a life total climb without limit. This line lives in green creature-based ramp decks that can reliably land four specific permanents.

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 replaces Mana Reflection if a creature-centric shell is preferred, tripling the mana and making the loop even more redundant to partial removal. Without Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth in play, the combo collapses entirely — it is the linchpin, so counter-magic aimed there is the cleanest answer at the table. Bow out of this line in pods with heavy land removal and run a Crop Rotation or Expedition Map to find Yavimaya faster.
