Imodane, the Pyrohammer + Explosive Singularity + Grafted Exoskeleton
How it works
- Cast Explosive Singularity by paying at most 8, dealing 10 damage to any creature.
- Imodane triggers, giving each opponent ten poison counters.
- Each opponent loses the game as a state-based action due to having ten or more poison counters.
This cunning brew turns a massive burn spell into an instant-kill weapon by bridging the gap between raw damage and toxic lethality. You start by suiting up a creature with Grafted Exoskeleton, granting it infect so that any damage it deals to players will translate directly into game-ending poison counters. Next, you cast Explosive Singularity—often heavily discounted by tapping your creatures for its alternative cost—targeting a single creature. Because Explosive Singularity is an instant or sorcery that targets only a single creature, Imodane, the Pyrohammer triggers off the resulting 10 damage, redirecting that exact same heavy blow to each opponent and immediately executing them via the Exoskeleton's infect grant before state-based actions can even catch their breath.
