Prerequisites

Viridian Longbow and Thornbite Staff attached to a creature with deathtouch. That creature does not have summoning sickness. All Equipments and/or Auras attached to the same creature. That creature does not have summoning sickness.

Steps

  1. Activate the creature's ability from Viridian Longbow by tapping it, dealing 1 damage to any target creature an opponent controls and destroying that target due to deathtouch.
  2. When that target dies, the creature's ability from Thornbite Staff triggers, untapping itself.
  3. Repeat.
  4. You may also repeat this loop whenever a creature enters the battlefield under an opponent's control.
  5. Activate the creature by tapping it, dealing damage to an opponent's creature.
  6. The opponent's creature dies due to deathtouch, triggering the second ability granted by Thornbite Staff, untapping your creature.
  7. Repeat until all opponents' creatures die.
  8. Repeat each time a creature enters the battlefield under an opponent's control.

How to execute this combo

The "Thornbite Staff + Vorpal Sword + Viridian Longbow" combo takes 8 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: Destroy all creatures opponents control, Destroy all creatures opponents control whenever a creature enters the battlefield, Lock.

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.
