How it works

  1. Activate Putrid Imp by discarding a card.
  2. Glint-Horn Buccaneer triggers, dealing 1 damage to each opponent.
  3. Niv-Mizzet triggers, causing you to draw that many cards.
  4. Resolve the Putrid Imp ability.
  5. Repeat.

This looping engine transforms the simple act of discarding into a devastating, self-sustaining storm of damage and card draw. By repeatedly activating Putrid Imp to discard a card, you instantly awaken Glint-Horn Buccaneer's static damage trigger, which pulses damage to each opponent. That noncombat damage immediately triggers Niv-Mizzet, Visionary to refill your hand with fresh cards, ensuring you never run out of fodder to feed back into the Imp's activation cost.
