I don’t play magic, how does that work? Moving the creature to the graveyard, and the staff effect, are both instant? So if you get the combo up, you basically clear the board of any power 4+ creatures?
Yes and no. It’s a two card combo, and the mana costs are all sequential, so in theory you can do it perfectly on curve. On the other hand, its not really worth doing in singleton formats given that it relies on two very specific cards for a payoff that’s… fine. Like, pretty good, but not worth two cards for something that needs a perfect draw to work.
Yeah, I mean, obviously a board wipe that evades your own stuff is better, but if all you’ve done for the first four turns is set up this combo, you don’t even have a board state to protect. And a wrath can’t be shocked off the board before it can fire.
This is exactly why it’s just not actually all that busted. There are simply better ways to get the effect it gives you.

Yeah, every time you tap hero to kill something the effect of the staff triggers, untapping the hero. Repeat ad infinitum.
That sounds hard to set up, but hilarious.

Just play a Wrath?
