Teferi's Protection phases out all of the caster's permanents before Worldfire resolves, so those permanents survive the exile clause and return on the next untap step — lands, creatures, and rocks included. Opponents wake up with 1 life, no hand, no graveyard, and no board; one attack step closes it. The shell is any Boros or Jeskai build that can hold up 8 mana across white and red and protect sorcery-speed windows.

Prerequisites

Steps

Activate all your mana-producing permanents, adding at least .
Cast Teferi's Protection by paying , phasing out all of your permanents and preventing your life total from changing until your next turn.
Cast Worldfire by paying , exiling all permanents that are not phased out, exiling all cards in hands and graveyards, and setting each opponent's life total to 1.

Result

Each opponent's life total becomes 1; Exile all cards in hands and graveyards; Exile all permanents opponents control; Mass Land Denial

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

There is no functional substitute for Worldfire — no other card sets all opponents to 1 life while exiling permanents, hands, and graveyards simultaneously, so both pieces are irreplaceable. The only real flexibility is in protection: Teferi's Protection is the cleanest, but any effect that phases the caster's permanents out before Worldfire resolves achieves the same result; the kill itself needs no closer beyond combat.
