The 3 combo pieces

What must be in place

You have Serra the Benevolent's emblem.An additional creature on the battlefield under any player's control.

How to execute it

  1. Cast Volcano Hellion by paying {2}{R}{R}.
  2. Volcano Hellion enters the battlefield, triggering itself, targeting any other creature.
  3. In response, cast Arcbond by paying {2}{R}, targeting the same creature and creating a delayed triggered ability.
  4. Resolve Volcano Hellion's trigger, dealing an arbitrarily large amount of damage to the targeted creature and to you, reducing your life total to 1 due to Serra the Benevolent's emblem.
  5. Arcbond's delayed triggered ability triggers, dealing an equal amount of damage to all other creatures and all players, which again does not reduce your life total below 1.
