You have a way to deal noncombat damage to an opponent who controls at least one creature.

- Deal noncombat damage to an opponent.

- If you have a repeated way to deal noncombat damage to any other opponent(s) who control a creature, you may repeat this loop for those opponents.
How to execute this combo
The "Chandra's Incinerator + Repercussion" combo takes 5 steps in order. Make sure you have the mana open and permanents listed in the prerequisites before you start — opponents can respond between steps.

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.
