How it works

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

This unusual interaction weaponizes a rules paradox to force a game-ending draw. By handing our aquatic friend Dandân over to an opponent who controls no Islands using Assault Suit, we create a situation where Dandân's own delayed trigger demands that its controller sacrifice it. Because Assault Suit explicitly protects the equipped creature from being sacrificed, the sacrifice attempt fails, but the game recognizes the trigger must still resolve, creating an inescapable, mandatory loop that stalls out the entire match.
