Saw in Half
Mayael's Aria
Adrix and Nev, Twincasters
Win the game at the beginning of your next upkeep
How it works
Cast Saw in Half by paying 2, destroying Verdurous Gearhulk and creating four token copies of it with base power equal to half the destroyed creature's power and base toughness equal to half the destroyed creature's toughness, rounding up each time.
When the Verdurous Gearhulk tokens enter the battlefield, they trigger, putting sixteen +1/+1 counters on a creature you control with power 3 or greater.
At the beginning of your next upkeep, Mayael's Aria triggers, causing you to put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control, gain 10 life and win the game.
This explosive win hinges on multiplying raw stats into game-ending power, starting when you target Verdurous Gearhulk with Saw in Half. Because Adrix and Nev, Twincasters doubles your token production, that single spell doesn't just split the Gearhulk—it floods the board with four scaled-down copies. Each of those arriving token copies triggers anew, distributing a massive cascade of sixteen +1/+1 counters onto your board to instantly push a creature past the 20-power threshold. With that monstrous threat established, Mayael's Aria takes over at your next upkeep, effortlessly checking off its incremental clauses to reward you with life and an immediate victory.
