Imodane, the Pyrohammer + Explosive Singularity + Tainted Strike

Imodane, the Pyrohammer

Explosive Singularity

Tainted Strike

How it works

1. Cast Tainted Strike by paying , giving Imodane +1/+0 and infect until end of turn.
2. Cast Explosive Singularity by paying at most 8, dealing 10 damage to any creature.
3. Imodane triggers, giving each opponent ten poison counters.
4. Each opponent loses the game as a state-based action due to having ten or more poison counters.

By infusing Imodane, the Pyrohammer with the corrupting power of Tainted Strike, you transform her signature spell-redirection ability into an instant-win condition. When you follow up by unleashing an Explosive Singularity targeting a creature—discounted nicely by tapping your remaining creatures for its alternative cost—Imodane catches that 10 damage and redirects it to each of your opponents. Because Imodane herself now wields infect, that redirected damage doesn't just reduce life totals; it lands as a lethal payload of ten poison counters that immediately ends the game for everyone else at the table.
