Intruder Alarm + Hushbringer

Intruder Alarm

Hushbringer

How it works

1. Intruder Alarm's first ability prevents creatures from untapping during their controller's untap step.
2. Because Hushbringer prevents abilities from triggering whenever a creature enters the battlefield, Intruder Alarm's second ability does not trigger to untap them.

This fascinating lock turns off a fundamental rule of the game by letting **Intruder Alarm** prevent creatures from untapping naturally during their controllers' untap steps, forcing players to rely entirely on its mass-untap trigger when a new creature enters. However, **Hushbringer** steps in to completely neutralize that safety valve by shutting down all creature-enters-the-battlefield abilities, ensuring those untap triggers never happen at all. Together, these two enchantments and creatures create a devastating stax lock that leaves your opponents' boards permanently frozen in place.
