Imodane, the Pyrohammer + Explosive Singularity + Triumph of the Hordes
How it works
- Cast Triumph of the Hordes by paying 2, giving creatures you control +1/+1 and infect until end of turn.
- 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 lethal combo relies on amplifying a massive burn spell with a surprise infect alpha strike to instantly overwhelm your opponents out of nowhere. First, you cast Triumph of the Hordes to grant your entire team +1/+1, trample, and infect, turning any subsequent damage into game-ending poison. Then, you point Explosive Singularity at a single creature, discounting its mana cost by tapping your now-buffed creatures and aiming a colossal 10 damage directly at the target. Because that burn spell targets only a single creature, Imodane, the Pyrohammer triggers and mirrors that exact 10 damage to *each* opponent. Thanks to the infect keyword granted earlier, those 10 damage chunks instantly translate to 10 poison counters, closing out the game immediately through state-based actions.
