How it works

  1. Give control of Bronze Bombshell to an opponent.
  2. Bronze Bombshell triggers, causing its controller to sacrifice it.
  3. However, Bronze Bombshell cannot be sacrificed due to Assault Suit.
  4. Bronze Bombshell triggers again, creating a mandatory infinite loop that causes the game to end in a draw.

This diabolical little engine forces a game-ending stalemate by exploiting a conflict between mandatory rules. When you hand over your Bronze Bombshell to an opponent while it is outfitted with an Assault Suit, the artifact creature's triggered ability demands that its new controller sacrifice it immediately. However, the protective, immutable warding of the Assault Suit flatly forbids that sacrifice from ever happening. Because the sacrifice fails to resolve, the game treats the trigger as perpetually unfulfilled, forcing Bronze Bombshell to trigger continuously and trapping all players in an unavoidable, infinite loop that instantly results in a draw.
