This guide focuses on combos utilizing Martyrdom effects and, due to it focusing predominately on toughness, other toughness-based combos. The Martyrdom combos work using this effect:

: The next 1 damage that would be dealt to target creature or player this turn is dealt to this creature instead.

The damage prevention is not what's important here but the which allows you to use it an unlimited number of times. It can be used to activate ability-based triggers, mainly ones that boost toughness like Daru Spiritualist . After you have made its butt sufficiently large you can use effects like Inside Out and Sheltering Word put it to use.

Sidenote: I have included combos that grant unlimited life but these do not help you win the game. Only use these if you plan to make your friends scoop from boredom.


There are two commanders that can take advantage of this combo: Angelic Protector and Belligerent Brontodon . Mono White cannot utilize toughness which leaves this combo only helping Angelic Protector block. Belligerent Brontodon , on the other hand, is Doran, the Siege Tower in Pauper EDH. It can utilize this combo to remove a player from the game.

This combo has a lot of good support options, unfortunately not in . Splashing Blue will give you access to Dizzy Spell , Muddle the Mixture , and Drift of Phantasms allowing you to tutor for Nomads en-Kor , Martyrdom , Daru Spiritualist , and Task Force . Splashing Black gives you access to Dimir House Guard and Shred Memory , allowing you to tutor for Spirit en-Kor and Daru Spiritualist .
