Color Identity: G, W

Initial Card State

  1.  Pili-Pala in exile (exiled by Agatha's Soul Cauldron).
  2.  Selvala and Agatha's Soul Cauldron on the battlefield.

Notable Prerequisites

  1. Selvala does not have summoning sickness and has at least one +1/+1 counter on it.

Steps

  1. Activate Selvala by tapping it, causing each player to reveal the top card of their library, then causing you to add ({G} magic symbol)   and gain 1 life for each nonland card revealed this way, then causing each player to draw a card.
  2. Activate Selvala using Pili-Pala's ability by paying ({2} magic symbol)   and untapping it, adding one mana of any color.
  3. Repeat.

Notes

  1. Additional mana may be needed to start the combo depending on how many nonland cards are revealed. It is also possible that each iteration may not cover its own mana cost, and therefore it is recommended to have additional mana available in case this happens and you have no extra mana from previous iterations.

Results

  1. Near-infinite lifegain.
  2. Near-infinite lifegain triggers.
  3. Near-infinite colored mana.
  4. Infinite draw triggers for all players.
  5. Infinite card draw for all players.
