How it works

  1. Cast Malignus by paying 3R manaR mana.
  2. When Malignus enters the battlefield, Warstorm Surge triggers, dealing an amount of damage equal to three times Malignus' power to an opponent.
  3. The opponent loses the game due to having zero or less life.

This explosive sequence relies on scaling Malignus to terrifying proportions based on your opponents' life totals, using its naturally massive power to fuel the fire. As soon as Malignus enters the battlefield, Warstorm Surge triggers to convert that staggering power directly into a lethal blow. The real catalyst here is City on Fire, whose passive damage-tripling effect multiplies the incoming blast exponentially, ensuring that even a standard life total is instantly obliterated in a single strike.
