Repercussion redirects each of the 13 damage instances from Blasphemous Act to the controller of each creature hit, so a board with six creatures means 78 damage spread across opponents before a single trigger resolves for you. Blasphemous Act costs as little as 1R with a full board, making this a cheap win condition in red token and weenie strategies — the more creatures at the table, the deadlier the payoff.

Recipe

How it works

Prerequisites

This combo will also deal damage to you equal to 13 times the number of creatures you control. It is recommended that your life total is above this number to ensure you don't lose the game from the damage if your opponents will not take lethal damage from this combo.

Steps

Cast Blasphemous Act by paying at most , dealing 13 damage to each creature.
Repercussion triggers for each creature dealt damage this way.
Resolve the first Repercussion trigger, dealing 13 damage to an opponent.
Repeat step 3 for each Repercussion trigger, ensuring to resolve all triggers that would damage your opponent(s) first.

Result

Near-infinite damage to all players

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Fiery Confluence and Chain Reaction are backup damage-to-all-creatures spells if Blasphemous Act is countered, though neither guarantees 13 damage per creature. Pack Dolmen Gate or Circle of Volrath if the self-damage threshold is a recurring survival problem — the combo's only structural weakness is that it deals 13 times your own creature count back at you, so running few or zero creatures yourself turns that liability into a non-issue.
