The 2 combo pieces
What must be in place
An opponent does not control a permanent with a phylactery counter on it.
How to execute it
- At the beginning of your end step, Jon Irenicus triggers, giving control of Phylactery Lich to an opponent who controls no permanents with a phylactery counter on them.
- When Phylactery Lich's controller controls no permanents with a phylactery counter on them, Phylactery Lich triggers, causing them to sacrifice it.
- However, Phylactery Lich cannot be sacrificed due to its ability.
- Phylactery Lich triggers again, creating a mandatory infinite loop that causes the game to end in a draw.
