Split Second e Deep Sea Kraken (Suspend)

Esta é esquisita (citando o site da Wizards):

"For those who are unfamiliar with the Split Second/Deep-Sea Kraken trick, here's how it works: When Deep-Sea Kraken has one counter left, you play a split second spell (any will do). This triggers the removal of the last counter on the Kraken. Since you still have a split second spell on the stack, Deep-Sea Kraken cannot be played. This keeps him removed from the game with no time counters. Once this happens, he's gone for good. "
