How it works

  1. Cast Tainted Strike by paying B mana, 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 and giving each opponent ten poison counters, and you one poison counter.
  3. Each opponent loses the game due to having ten poison counters.

This devastating combo transforms your goblin horde into a one-sided lethal wipe by combining Tainted Strike with Skirk Fire Marshal. Once Tainted Strike grants Skirk Fire Marshal infect and a power boost, tapping five untapped Goblins you control triggers its massive ability to deal 10 damage to each creature and each player. Because that damage is dealt in the form of poison counters, your opponents are instantly knocked out of the game, while Melira, the Living Cure sits on your board as a testament to the chaotic alchemy at play (even if her poison-capping static ability isn't strictly needed to seal the deal).
