Judith, Carnage Connoisseur + Wheel of Misfortune + Phial of Galadriel

Judith, Carnage Connoisseur

Wheel of Misfortune

Phial of Galadriel

How it works

1. Cast Wheel of Misfortune by paying 2.
2. Judith triggers, giving Wheel of Misfortune deathtouch and lifelink.
3. Resolve Wheel of Misfortune, choosing an arbitrarily large number.
4. If you didn't choose the largest number, Wheel of Misfortune deals damage equal to the highest number chosen to each player that chose it, causing those players to lose the game due to having 0 or less life.
5. If you chose the largest number, Wheel of Misfortune deals that much damage to you and causes you to gain twice that much life.

This explosive interaction turns the high-risk gamble of Wheel of Misfortune into a massive life-swing by leaning into Judith, Carnage Connoisseur's ability to grant lifelink to instant and sorcery spells. Because Wheel of Misfortune deals damage to anyone who chooses the highest number, you can intentionally pick an arbitrarily large number to deal lethal damage to your opponents while simultaneously taking the hit yourself—a hit that Judith converts into a mountain of life gained. Phial of Galadriel ensures your hand stays full after discarding and drawing, and its replacement effect can even double that incoming lifegain if your life total has dipped low enough, cementing this fiery loop as a chaotic and stylish way to secure a win.
