How to execute this combo

The "Staff of Domination + Topiary Lecturer" combo takes 4 steps in order. Make sure you have the mana open and permanents listed in the prerequisites before you start — opponents can respond between steps.

The end result: Infinite card draw, Infinite draw triggers, Infinite green mana, Infinite lifegain, Infinite lifegain triggers, Infinite mana creatures you control can produce, Infinite untap of creatures you control.

Practice the line offline: lay out the cards, walk through each step, and note where you can lose the combo (summoning sickness, lack of priority, removal on a key permanent). In game, announce each step clearly; in casual play you can offer to shortcut after demonstrating the loop.

The best window is a turn when opponents are tapped out or after they commit a spell — hold protection (a counter, Vexing Shusher) if the combo wins on the spot.
