Tolarian Kraken
Prerequisites
What do I need to start this combo?
| Selvala and Tolarian Kraken on the battlefield. | |
| Selvala does not have summoning sickness. |
Steps
How does this combo work?
1 | Activate Selvala by tapping it, causing each player to reveal the top card of their library, then causing you to add and gain 1 life for each nonland card revealed this way, then causing each player to draw a card. |
2 | Tolarian Kraken triggers, causing you to pay  to untap Selvala. |
3 | Repeat. |
4 | NOTE: If everyone would happen to reveal a land, Selvala makes no mana, and therefore you will need to supplement mana to pay for Tolarian Kraken's trigger if you have no mana in your mana pool. |
