Semester's End

Instant$0.72

Exile any number of target creatures and/or planeswalkers you control. At the beginning of the next end step, return each of them to the battlefield under its owner's control. Each of them enters with an additional +1/+1 counter on it if it's a creature and an additional loyalty counter on it if it's a planeswalker.

    How it works

    Before you start

    Your life total is at least thirty, minus one for each poison counter your opponents have and for each creature you control.

    Steps

    Cast Storm Herd by paying {8}{W}{W}, creating a number of 1/1 Pegasus creature tokens equal to your life total. Cast Semester's End by paying {3}{W}, targeting every creature you control. Venerated Rotpriest triggers for each creature targeted by Semester's End. Resolve the first trigger, causing an opponent to get a poison counter. Repeat step 4 until an opponent loses the game due to having ten poison counters, then repeat for each other opponent.
