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.

By granting your creature the ranged capabilities of Heavy Arbalest alongside the lethal precision of Gift of Doom, you transform any eligible target into a board-clearing executioner. The real engine here is Thornbite Staff, whose passive ability untaps the equipped creature every single time a creature dies—instantly resetting your shooter so long as deathtouch ensures the damage is fatal. This creates a terrifying, self-sustaining loop that not only wipes out the entire opponent's board on demand, but automatically locks them out of keeping any future creatures alive as they enter the battlefield.
