How it works

  1. Activate Toymaker by paying 1, tapping it and discarding a card, 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. 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.

This eccentric loop forces a game-ending draw by trapping the table in an unbreakable chain of mana abilities. **Toymaker** is the catalyst here, temporarily animating **Caged Sun** into an artifact creature so that **Ashaya, Soul of the Wild** can weave its magic and turn **Caged Sun** into a Forest land in addition to its other types. Once **Caged Sun** is classified as a land, tapping it for mana triggers its own passive replacement ability to add an extra green mana, which instantly taps the land for mana again in a mandatory loop that cannot be stopped.
