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 brutal setup turns any creature into a one-man firing squad by granting it the targeted pinging power of Viridian Longbow, the game-ending touch of deathtouch from Aspect of Gorgon, and the perpetual motion provided by Thornbite Staff. Every time your sniper deals a single point of damage, deathtouch ensures the target instantly perishes, which in turn triggers Thornbite Staff's automatic untap ability so you can fire again immediately. Because the staff keeps your sharpshooter ready for action whenever a creature dies, you can systematically wipe out opposing boards piece by piece—and lock down the game entirely whenever a new creature dares to enter the battlefield.
