EXPLOSION!!!


Use Draw/Discard cards to dig through cards until we find a source of haste like Lightning Greaves, enough ramp to cast our combo (Treasonous Ogre being the most extreme), and then unload our combo. Some are easier to pull of than others. For example Dictate of the Twin Gods can be flashed in on the last opponents end step, letting us cast our Heartless Hidetsugu with minimal time for it to be cleared off the board by boring folks who don't want the game to end.

For anyone who doesn't know already, Heartless Hidetsugu detonating with an effect that doubles its damage results in anyone at an even life total dying, and anyone at an odd life total going to 1 life. Because half of an even number, rounded down, then multipied by two, is the original number; half of an odd number, rounded down, multiplied by two, is the original number minus 1.

Lifelink cards will provide a sizable life total with a successful detonation, but will imediately draw everyone's attention (if they're not already focusing you just based on your potential to nuke at any time). It can be best to hide them until you have a plan to resolve the detonation. Especially Basilisk Collar, since it only costs 1 colorless to cast. Something like Batterskull is more likely to be cast at earliest convenience.

Lifelink cards mean that even if we detonate our own life total out of existence, we don't lose the game. A lifelink-double damage detonation resolving is incredibly rare, though it is almost a guaranteed win, with the complete absorbtion of every other players life total.
