What are the weirdest combos for Assault Suit?

Assault Suit is unique in that prevents the equipped creature from being sacrificed due to any effect, including your own. So what combos can you think for it? The weirder, the better!

Zurgo Helmsmasher is the best!

Anything that would normally have to be sacrificed. E.g., cards like Phyrexian Soulgorger and Phantasmal Image, or tokens made by Feldon of the Third Path and Chandra, Flamecaller.

Sorry for the double-post, but I forgot to mention: It's bonkers with All Is Dust.

with Phantasmal Image though, wouldn't you have to sacrifice it the moment you activated the equip ability of Assault Suit?

Any voltron deck it is sweet: it gets haste, and your commander gets more swings in. Zurgo Helmsmasher is great because he's indestructible and has to swing, but I have it in Nazahn, Revered Bladesmith because it's just bonkers. Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder is another good target if you want an army of thrulls.

It is a fun card in the old Mathas, Fiend Seeker curse deck :)

flluid, it is in fact going into a Mathas deck to try to get extra triggers from him, but I wanted to see if there was anything else that synergized with the whole deck (it's not a curse deck, cause I really want to have blue with my curses).

@SteelSentry: That combo doesn’t work. Endrek still sees 7 thrulls so he keeps trying to sac himself and the game stalls out unless you can get rid of the suit at instant speed.
