How it works

  1. Donate Body of Knowledge to an opponent that has two or more cards in hand, then deal nonlethal damage to it.
  2. Body of Knowledge triggers, causing its controller to draw that many cards.
  3. Orcish Bowmaster triggers for each card drawn. Resolve the first trigger, dealing 1 damage to Body of Knowledge and causing you to amass Orcs 1.
  4. Repeat from step 2.

This delightful loop turns an opponent’s hand against them by giving away your own prized asset. By using Zedruu the Greathearted to hand over Body of Knowledge to an opponent, you set up a situation where any damage dealt to that creature causes its new controller to draw a mountain of cards. That massive card draw immediately awakens your Orcish Bowmasters, which start pelting Body of Knowledge with 1 damage at a time. Each ping triggers the Body of Knowledge to draw yet another card, feeding right back into the Orcish Bowmasters' triggered ability to sustain an unstoppable, game-ending loop of damage, draws, and escalating amass triggers.
