Skirk Fire Marshal + The Wanderer + Tainted Strike

Skirk Fire Marshal

The Wanderer

Tainted Strike

How it works

1. Cast Tainted Strike by paying , giving Skirk Fire Marshal +1/+0 and infect until end of turn.
2. Activate Skirk Fire Marshal by tapping five Goblins you control, putting ten -1/-1 counters on each creature opponents control and giving each opponent ten poison counters.
3. Each opponent loses the game due to having ten poison counters.

This explosive combo relies on Skirk Fire Marshal's ability to blanket the entire board and all players in massive damage, which is normally a dangerous proposition for its controller. However, The Wanderer provides a crucial safety net by effortlessly blanking all noncombat damage dealt to you and your permanents, letting you survive the fiery blast unscathed. To turn that survival into an instant victory, Tainted Strike infects your goblin pyro's payload, transforming the massive damage into lethal poison counters that immediately overwhelm your opponents.
