How it works

  1. If needed, give control of Emperor Crocodile to an opponent who controls no creatures.
  2. When Emperor Crocodile's controller controls no creatures, Emperor Crocodile triggers, causing them to sacrifice it.
  3. However, Emperor Crocodile cannot be sacrificed due to Assault Suit.
  4. Emperor Crocodile triggers again, creating a mandatory infinite loop that causes the game to end in a draw.

By passing around Emperor Crocodile with the help of Assault Suit, we create a clever rules interaction that forces a game-ending draw. Emperor Crocodile normally demands that you sacrifice it if you control no other creatures, which would usually spell doom for its controller. However, Assault Suit kindly steps in with a static ability that forbids the equipped creature from being sacrificed at all. This creates a mandatory, un-bypassable trigger loop when the crocodile's controller has no other creatures, as the game infinitely tries and fails to sacrifice it, ending the match in a draw.
