How it works

  1. During your cleanup step, discard to your maximum hand size.
  2. Brallin triggers for each card discarded, getting a +1/+1 counter and dealing 1 damage to each opponent.
  3. Ophidian Eye triggers, causing you to draw a card for each damage dealt.
  4. Pass priority, moving to an additional cleanup step.
  5. Repeat until you have no cards left in library or have won the game.

This cunning loop turns the game's rules engine into your personal engine of destruction by turning a routine cleanup step into an infinite cascade of triggers. With Ophidian Eye enchanting Brallin, Skyshark Rider, discarding down to your maximum hand size triggers Brallin to ping each opponent for 1 damage. Because Brallin deals damage to an opponent, Ophidian Eye triggers to draw you a card, which immediately fills your hand back up and forces an additional cleanup step. By repeating this process, Brallin, Skyshark Rider grows impossibly large with +1/+1 counters while burning your opponents out of the game.
