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 loop turns any equipped creature into a relentless one-man firing squad by combining Lightning Prowess's tap-to-damage ability with the rapid-fire untapping power of Thornbite Staff. Thanks to Nazgûl Battle-Mace granting the creature deathtouch, every single point of damage it pings out instantly destroys its target, which in turn triggers the Staff to untap the shooter so it can repeat the process immediately. The Mace also provides menace and annihilator 1 while setting up a brutal punishment if opponents try to wriggle out through sacrifices, locking down the entire board whenever opposing creatures dare to enter the battlefield.
