How to abuse the spike.

You can\'t block it nor target it.......game.

Want to really piss off the opponent add in armored ascension.

Since halving the life is a trigger, any amount of power increase will expedite the process (albeit, more effectively when the opponent is at low life). Although, since the lightning greaves doesn't allow the creature to be targeted I'll have to agree with gericault, it really isn't useful in this situation.

However, if you reequip the greaves to another creature on your second attack run [20 life - 1 damage; and halved life = 9 life] and cast might of oaks on the creature, you would deal 8 damage, and removed half of the remaining life rounded up (leaving the opponent at zero).



But I'll have to say, simple old school tactics like circle protection white work wonders against this ;)

actually that would be 8 damage leaving 12 life and then lose half of that leaving only 6 life total.

The true purpose of the spike is not really to finish your opponent but to speed up the process.

Turn 1 -     20 life - 1 damage (Beloved Chaplin) = 19 life
                   [Quietus' triggers] 19 life /2 = 9 life (after rounding the loss of life up)

Turn 2 -     9 life - 1 damage (Beloved Chaplin) - 7 damage (Might of Oaks) = 1 life
                   [Quietus' triggers] 1 life / 2 = 0 life (after rounding up the loss of life)
