How it works

  1. Cast Angel's Grace by paying W mana.
  2. Cast Fractured Identity by paying 3W manaU mana, exiling Nine Lives and causing each opponent to create a token copy of it.
  3. Nine Lives leaves the battlefield, however you cannot lose the game due to Angel's Grace.
  4. Cast Merciless Eviction by paying its mana cost, exiling all enchantments.
  5. When each opponent's Nine Lives leaves the battlefield, they each trigger, causing each opponent to lose the game.

This devious win condition relies on handing out copies of Nine Lives with Fractured Identity, rendering your opponents entirely dependent on an enchantment that turns on them the moment it leaves the battlefield. Because Nine Lives carries a punishing clause that makes its controller lose the game when it leaves play, casting Angel's Grace first is vital to ensure you survive the fallout when your own copy inevitably departs. Once your defenses are secure, you drop Merciless Eviction to wipe out all enchantments simultaneously. This forces your opponents' tokens to leave the battlefield all at once, triggering their loss clauses and securing your victory.
