How it works

  1. Activate the creature by tapping it, dealing damage to an opponent's creature.
  2. The opponent's creature dies due to deathtouch, triggering the second ability granted by Thornbite Staff, untapping your creature.
  3. Repeat until all opponents' creatures die.
  4. Repeat each time a creature enters the battlefield under an opponent's control.

By outfitting a creature with both Gorgon's Head and Thornbite Staff, you grant it the lethal combination of deathtouch and a built-in damage-dealing ability that untaps itself whenever anything perishes. Because deathtouch turns any amount of damage into a fatal blow, every ping from the staff instantly destroys its target, triggering the staff's untap ability and letting you repeat the process at will. While Wolfhunter's Quiver is also part of this setup, the core engine relies on the synergy between the deathtouch grant and the staff's cascading untaps to lock down the board and wipe out opposing creatures as fast as they appear.
