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 lethal setup turns any creature into a sniper of absolute doom by combining three distinct artifacts. You equip your creature with Heavy Arbalest to grant it a tapping damage ability, while Quietus Spike weaves in deathtouch to ensure that any target it pings immediately perishes. Because Thornbite Staff watches for creature deaths and automatically untaps the equipped creature in response, every successful shot resets the weapon instantly—allowing you to clear the entire board of enemy threats and lock down any future creature drops.
