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 clever setup transforms any creature into a one-man firing squad by granting it the targeted damage abilities of Lavamancer's Skill alongside the passive power-ups of Thornbite Staff, which immediately untaps the wielder whenever *any* creature dies. To ensure your ranged strikes are lethal and your shooter survives the crossfire, Gift of Doom steps in to wrap the creature in both deathtouch and indestructible protection. Because deathtouch turns even a single ping of damage into a fatal blow, every time your creature fires it triggers the Staff's untap ability, letting you mow down opposing creatures en masse and lock down the entire board whenever a new threat dares to enter.
