Vizkopa Guildmage's second ability costs 1WB and lasts the turn; Swords to Plowshares exiles Soul of Eternity and converts its power directly into life, which the Guildmage mirrors as damage to each opponent simultaneously. Soul of Eternity's power equals your life total, so the higher the life total, the more damage lands — a deck running Oloro, Ageless Ascetic or Karlov of the Ghost Council can close out the table from 40-plus life without combat.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Aetherflux Reservoir replaces Swords to Plowshares as the damage vector if the Guildmage is answered before the activation resolves — pay 50, shoot a player, the Guildmage mirrors that loss to everyone else. Felidar Sovereign and Test of Endurance offer redundant win conditions for the same high-life-total shell if assembling three specific pieces proves too narrow.
