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 loop transforms any creature into a relentless, board-clearing executioner by layering together three distinct permanent upgrades. You first enchant your creature with Aspect of Gorgon to grant it deathtouch, ensuring any damage it deals is immediately lethal. By equipping it with both Heavy Arbalest and Thornbite Staff, you grant the creature the ability to tap and snipe targets for damage, while the Staff's trigger automatically untaps the creature whenever the deathtouch-slain target hits the graveyard. This creates a self-sustaining loop where your creature can repeatedly snipe down every single opposing threat on the battlefield, locking down the board indefinitely.
