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 loop turns any creature into an automated eradication engine, locking down your opponents' boards the moment they try to deploy a threat. By bestowing Gift of Doom onto your creature, you grant it crucial indestructible and deathtouch, ensuring that every ping is lethal while your shooter remains entirely safe from harm. Equipping Thornbite Staff provides the active ping ability and uses its static graveyard trigger to automatically untap your creature every time a victim perishes. Meanwhile, Lightning Prowess grants haste so the engine can start immediately, along with its own tap-to-damage ability that synergizes seamlessly with the staff's toolkit.
