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.

This clever setup turns any creature into a one-man board wipe by stacking up crucial passive and activated abilities. By equipping the creature with Thornbite Staff and enchanting it with Hypervolt Grasp, you give the shooter two distinct ways to tap and ping any target for 1 damage. Meanwhile, Gift of Doom steps in to grant the enchanted creature both deathtouch and indestructible, ensuring that every single point of damage it deals is instantly fatal to whatever creature it hits. As each opponent's creature perishes from that lethal pings, the Thornbite Staff triggers to untap your shooter, allowing you to repeat the cycle endlessly and lock down the entire board whenever a new creature dares to enter the battlefield.
