Deathbringer Thoctar + Gift of Doom

Deathbringer Thoctar

Gift of Doom

How it works

1. Activate Deathbringer Thoctar by removing a +1/+1 counter from it, dealing 1 damage to any creature an opponent controls.
2. The creature dies as a state-based action due to Deathbringer Thoctar's deathtouch.
3. Deathbringer Thoctar triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on itself.
4. Repeat as desired.
5. You may also repeat this combo whenever a creature enters the battlefield under an opponent's control.

This clever engine turns Deathbringer Thoctar into a one-man extermination squad by pairing it with Gift of Doom. Because Gift of Doom grants enchanted creature deathtouch, every single point of damage Deathbringer Thoctar deals is instantly lethal to any creature it touches. Whenever one of those foes perishes from that deathtouch-fueled damage, Deathbringer Thoctar’s triggered ability rewards you by replacing the removed counter and leaving you ready to fire again.
