How it works

  1. Cast Rise and Shine by paying 1U mana, causing Caged Sun to become an artifact creature until end of turn.
  2. Activate Caged Sun by tapping it, adding G mana.
  3. Caged Sun triggers, adding G mana.
  4. Repeat step 3.
  5. NOTE: As Caged Sun's triggered ability is a mana ability, this combo creates a mandatory infinite loop that cannot be interacted with, thus ending the game in a draw.

By casting Rise and Shine overloaded, you animate Caged Sun—our chosen artifact—turning it into a creature alongside any other noncreature artifacts you control. This is where Ashaya, Soul of the Wild steps in to radically rewrite the rules of the battlefield, making all your nontoken creatures into Forest lands in addition to their other types. Because Caged Sun is now both a creature and a land thanks to Ashaya, tapping it for green mana triggers its own passive mana-doubling ability. That extra mana generation loops back into another activation with no way to stop or interrupt the sequence, forcing an inescapable infinite loop of mandatory mana generation that ends the game in a draw.
