Dire Fleet Ravager + Archfiend of Despair + Spark Double

Dire Fleet Ravager

Archfiend of Despair

Spark Double

How it works

1. Cast Dire Fleet Ravager by paying 3.
2. When Dire Fleet Ravager enters the battlefield, it triggers, causing each player to lose a third of their life total, rounded up.
3. At the beginning of your upkeep, Archfiend of Despair and Spark Double trigger.
4. Resolve the Archfiend of Despair trigger, causing each opponent to lose life equal to the life they lost this turn.
5. Resolve the Spark Double trigger, causing each opponent to lose life equal to the life they lost this turn.
6. Each opponent loses the game due to having 0 or less life.

This devastating loop hinges on pairing Dire Fleet Ravager's enter-the-battlefield trigger with the brutal life-duplication math of Archfiend of Despair, which ensures opponents lose life equal to what they've already lost that turn. To maximize this lethal drain, Spark Double enters as a non-legendary copy of Archfiend of Despair, cleanly stacking a second trigger of that same life-loss effect during the upkeep. Together, these demonic forces transform the initial third of life stripped away by Dire Fleet Ravager into cascading waves of life loss that instantly drop your opponents to zero.
