Doomgape + Soul of Eternity + Vizkopa Guildmage

Doomgape

Soul of Eternity

Vizkopa Guildmage

How it works

1. At the beginning of your upkeep, Doomgape triggers.
2. Holding priority, activate Vizkopa Guildmage's second ability by paying 1.
3. Resolve the Doomgape trigger, causing you to sacrifice Soul of Eternity and gain life equal to its toughness.
4. Vizkopa Guildmage triggers, causing each opponent to lose life equal to the life you gained.

This gruesome loop scales your life total and drains the table by tying your graveyard and your upkeep together in a single, devastating sequence. First, you activate Vizkopa Guildmage's second ability to convert any future life gain into direct opponent life loss. Then, Doomgape forces your hand at the beginning of your upkeep, demanding you sacrifice a creature—the perfect moment to feed away Soul of Eternity. Because Soul of Eternity dynamically tracks your life total as its toughness, sacrificing it yields a massive influx of life that immediately triggers Vizkopa Guildmage's copied life-draining effect for a lethal blow.
