Gisela, Blade of Goldnight + Malignus + Warstorm Surge

Gisela, Blade of Goldnight

Malignus

Warstorm Surge

How it works

1. Cast Malignus by paying 3.
2. When Malignus enters the battlefield, Warstorm Surge triggers, dealing an amount of damage equal to twice Malignus' power to an opponent.
3. The opponent loses the game due to having zero or less life.

This explosive pairing relies on Malignus scaling its power to match your opponent's life total, creating an immediate, massive threat the moment it hits the battlefield. Warstorm Surge harnesses that gigantic power by turning the creature's entry into direct damage, which is then catastrophically amplified by Gisela, Blade of Goldnight's damage-doubling effect to instantly obliterate the target's life total.
