How it works

  1. Activate Tidewater Minion by tapping it, targeting itself.
  2. Hawkeye's Bow triggers, dealing 1 damage to each opponent.
  3. Resolve the Tidewater Minion ability, untapping it.
  4. Repeat.

This clever loop harnesses the relentless mechanical synergy between Tidewater Minion and Hawkeye's Bow to close out a game. Once the Bow is equipped to the Minion, tapping the creature to activate its own untap ability naturally triggers the Bow's static-like triggered ability, sending a point of damage straight at each opponent. Because Tidewater Minion targets itself to untap, it immediately readies for another activation, creating an infinite, self-sustaining loop of taps and untaps that burns down the table without ever needing to declare an attack through its defender restriction.
