Circle of Dreams Druid + Staff of Domination
Overview
Circle of Dreams Druid’s 
ability produces 
equal to the number of creatures you control. Staff of Domination has a 
, activated ability that can untap a target creature and a separate 
activated ability that untaps the Staff itself. By tapping the Druid for mana, using Staff’s , to untap the Druid, then paying to untap the Staff, you create a loop whose net mana per cycle = (number of creatures you control) − 4. If you control five or more creatures, that loop generates infinite green mana. Note that the Druid can only activate its ability if it’s been under your control continuously since the turn began (summoning sickness) .

You are back to the starting position except you have spent 
total mana and gained n mana from the Druid’s tap. Net mana change = n − 4. If n ≥ 5 each loop produces net positive mana; repeat to generate arbitrarily large amounts of green mana.

Core ruling: Tap Circle of Dreams Druid to add equal to the number of creatures you control. Pay and tap Staff of Domination to activate its ,: Untap target creature, targeting the Druid. Then pay to activate Staff’s : Untap this artifact. Repeat. Each repetition nets (creatures you control) − 4 mana, so with five or more creatures you get a positive net mana per repetition and can produce infinite green mana. The Druid’s tap ability cannot be activated if it has summoning sickness (it must have been under your control continuously since your most recent turn began) . Also remember that tapping/untapping used here are activation costs (they are paid as part of activating abilities) .
