Malignus + Warstorm Surge + Furnace of Rath

Malignus

Warstorm Surge

Furnace of Rath

How it works

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

This brutal closing sequence leverages Malignus's massive, dynamically scaling power—which always matches half the highest opponent's life total, rounded up—right as it enters the battlefield. That massive stat triggers Warstorm Surge, translating Malignus's enormous power directly into a lethal blast of damage aimed right at an opponent's face. To make the math completely inescapable, Furnace of Rath sits on the board as a damage-doubling amplifier, ensuring that even a single activation deals twice the stated damage and instantly obliterates the target before they can even blink.
