How it works

  1. Cast Soultether Golem by paying 2.
  2. Soultether Golem enters the battlefield with a time counter on it due to its vanishing ability.
  3. Kate Stewart's first ability triggers, creating a 1/1 Soldier creature token.
  4. When the Soldier enters the battlefield, Soultether Golem's second ability triggers, putting a time counter on it.
  5. Repeat from step 3.
  6. NOTE: This combo creates a mandatory infinite loop that ends the game in a draw if it isn't interacted with.

This loop spins out of control the moment Soultether Golem hits the battlefield, creating an inescapable cycle of creation and counters. Because Soultether Golem enters with a time counter, Kate Stewart immediately triggers to mint a 1/1 white Soldier creature token. That new Soldier's arrival back-triggers Soultether Golem to pack on another time counter, which in turn triggers Kate Stewart once more for another token. Since this loop of triggers is completely mandatory and lacks any optional "may" clauses or break points, it will repeat forever—forcing the game into a draw unless an opponent steps in to break the chain.
