Add Umbral Mantle and it’s essentially infinite mana to draw your entire deck, assuming 12 power is the greatest on the board.

In the future, the "Rules Q&A" at the top of the page (or in the drop-down list from the three lines on mobile) is the place for all these sorts of questions. Thanks!

@Azdranax Umbral Mantle on Selvala, Heart of the Wilds won’t draw a ton of cards because selvala will get larger with each untap. After 5 activations selvala is as big as a Phyrexian Dreadnought If you have the ability so activate selvala with mantle generating 4 mana though selvala will give you infinite green mana and infinite power and toughness for a turn. So there is that

fadelightningmm while it is true you wouldn't be able to draw the entire deck off of Dreadnought in this case, you'd get up to 16 casts of it before Selvala reaches 12 power, and I think it's very likely with my Selvala deck where that would essentially end the game if uninterrupted with infinite mana otherwise available.

Yes, Phyrexian Dreadnought entering the battlefield will create a trigger which can be responded to, and you can respond with both floating your mana and activating the Temur Sabertooth.
None of the cards you mentioned will untap Selvala, Heart of the Wilds, so casting and bouncing Phyrexian Dreadnought will stop after your initial 12 mana is spent. You can probably draw a few cards with it, if 12 power is the greatest power on the battlefield, but it's not going on forever. Apart from that, everything works as you described.
