Transcendence + Angel's Grace

Transcendence

Angel's Grace

How it works

1. Cast Angel's Grace by paying , preventing you from losing the game this turn.
2. Cast Transcendence by paying 3.
3. Transcendence triggers due to you having 20 or more life. However, you cannot lose the game due to Angel's Grace.
4. Step 3 repeats in an infinite loop, causing the game to end in a draw if it isn't interacted with.

This bizarre interaction weaponizes a game-ending check to force a draw through an inescapable loop. When you cast Angel's Grace, its split second and replacement effects ensure you temporarily cannot lose the game. Resolving Transcendence right after triggers its second ability because you start with 20 or more life, but since Transcendence's resulting loss of the game is prevented, the trigger goes off again indefinitely. Because this mandatory infinite loop contains no optional points of exit, the game grinds to a halt and ends in a draw.
