How it works
Activate Emergence Zone's second ability by paying 1 and tapping it, allowing you to cast spells this turn as though they have flash.
Cast Thoughtseize by paying .
Hive Mind triggers, causing each opponent to create a copy of Thoughtseize.
Holding priority, cast Worldfire by paying 6.
Hive Mind triggers, causing each opponent to create a copy of Worldfire.
Resolve each Worldfire on the stack, exiling all permanents, all cards in all hands and graveyards, and setting each player's life total to one.
Resolve the first opponent's copy of Thoughtseize, causing them to lose 2 life.
The opponent loses the game due to having less than zero life.
Repeat from step 7 for each remaining opponent.
This delightfully wicked endgame relies on the bizarre interaction between Worldfire and Hive Mind to turn a board wipe into an instant win. By using Emergence Zone to grant your spells flash, you can cast Thoughtseize and Worldfire at instant speed, letting Hive Mind flood the stack with copies for every opponent. Once Worldfire resolves—wiping all permanents, hands, and graveyards while setting everyone's life total to 1—the stacked copies of Thoughtseize resolve on a board where your opponents already have a single life remaining. The resulting life loss from their own copied Thoughtseize immediately finishes them off before they can even draw a card.
