Prerequisites

Kediss does not have summoning sickness. Kediss is one of your commanders. You have the highest life total among all players. An opponent is unable to block Kediss.

Steps

  1. Declare Kediss as an attacker, choosing to attack an opponent unable to block.
  2. Before damage, cast Hatred targeting Kediss and pay life equal to the highest life toal among your opponent.
  3. Kediss kills the defending player.
  4. Kediss triggers, dealing lethal damage to each other opponent.

How to execute this combo

The "Kediss, Emberclaw Familiar + Hatred" combo takes 4 steps in order. Make sure you have the mana open and permanents listed in the prerequisites before you start — opponents can respond between steps.

The end result: Each opponent loses the game.

Practice the line offline: lay out the cards, walk through each step, and note where you can lose the combo (summoning sickness, lack of priority, removal on a key permanent). In game, announce each step clearly; in casual play you can offer to shortcut after demonstrating the loop.

The best window is a turn when opponents are tapped out or after they commit a spell — hold protection (a counter, Vexing Shusher) if the combo wins on the spot.
