Platinum Angel + Magus of the Mirror + Necropotence

Platinum Angel

Magus of the Mirror

Necropotence

How it works

1. During your upkeep, activate Necropotence by paying 1 life, exiling the top card of your library face down.
2. Repeat step 1 until you have zero life.
3. Activate Magus of the Mirror by tapping and sacrificing it, exchanging your life total with an opponent.
4. The opponent loses the game due to having zero life.

With Platinum Angel safely on the battlefield ensuring that "you can't lose the game," you are entirely insulated from the traditional consequences of having zero or negative life. This absolute protection creates a gruesome playground where Necropotence can run wild during your upkeep, letting you aggressively bleed your own life total down to zero (or lower) one payment at a time. Once you've successfully drained yourself to the absolute brink, you spring Magus of the Mirror's activated ability to seamlessly swap your hollow life total with an unsuspecting opponent, immediately forcing them to inherit your zero life and lose the game on the spot.
