Imodane, the Pyrohammer + Explosive Singularity + Corrupted Conscience
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 potent setup transforms a massive burn spell into an instant-kill condition by weaponizing keyword interactions. First, you steal and infect an opposing creature using Corrupted Conscience, giving it the infect ability so that all of its damage translates directly into poison counters. You then point Explosive Singularity straight at that creature, discounting its mana cost by tapping your available creatures. Because the resulting 10 damage is dealt by a single-target instant or sorcery, Imodane, the Pyrohammer triggers and mirrors that exact damage total to each opponent. Thanks to the infect modifier granted by Corrupted Conscience, that mirrored damage instantly registers as ten lethal poison counters, closing out the game on the spot.
