Commander Spellbook ↗How it works
Before you start
Cho-Arrim Alchemist does not have summoning sickness. You have at least one additional card in hand.
Steps
Cast Wheel of Misfortune by paying {2}{R}. Holding priority, activate Cho-Arrim Alchemist by paying {1}{W}{W}, tapping it and discarding a card, preventing all damage dealt by Wheel of Misfortune to you, and causing you to gain that much life. Resolve Wheel of Misfortune, choosing an arbitrarily large number, and causing you to gain life equal to the number you chose if you chose the largest number. If you didn't choose the largest number, Wheel of Misfortune deals that much damage to each opponent who chose the largest number.
