Wizards ETB shenanigans

Commander / EDH*

Buufreak


Exactly what it says on the tin! This has been an amazing year for grixis wizards, and I'm trying to capitalize!

Notes the first: Do you like numbers? I majored in biology with a focus in genetics, and running genetic possibilities of offspring is a passion of mine. As such, I'm good with working with powers of numbers. Usually 2s. But today, we get to play with 3s. So I had this funny idea of a suicide button, and put in Dire Fleet Ravager for just such a situation, and the more I played with it, the better it got. If we combine Dire Fleet Ravager + Inalla, Archmage Ritualist + Naban, Dean of Iteration + Panharmonicon, we will end up with 3 guys entering the field, and their abilities triggering 3 times each, for a total of nine. Running the numbers, with starting life of 40, you are dead by the 7th cycle. With 100, you are left with 2 after the last cycle. Funny enough, the 2 life and 1 life area of this bell curve are rather large, with 61 being the highest absolute kill value. Not the highest life number in the world, but still 1.5 times starting life for EDH, so I'll take it.

Note the second: I made a program that does the math for me, hooray! Also found out how to trigger Dire Fleet Ravager 30 times simultaneously using the above effects as well as Flameshadow Conjuring and Minion Reflector. For those curious, that means anyone with 311071 life or less is auto dead.
