Equip Nemesis Mask to Greatbow, attach Kusari-Gama to Brigid, enchant an opponent's creature with Binding Agony. Attack with Greatbow, all of opponent's creatures are forced to block, then use Brigid's ability to deal 2 damage each one of them, then Kusari-Gama deals 2 damage to all creatures for each creature Brigid nails with her ability. Even if your opponent has only 4 creatures and you only have one binding agony on them, they are in a world of hurt.

Greatbow Doyen is great. Put it with an infecty pinger.

Doesn't really need the binding agony, just stick with G/W.

Remember, KusuriGama deals the damage from it's trigger, not the equipped creature, so this damage will not hurt your opponent with the Doyen's trigger.

A lot of people think that the equipped creature deals the damage. . .

I know Kusari is the one that deals the damage. The way I read it is, each time Brigid deals damage to a blocker, Kusari deals damage to each other creature. Since Brigid deals 2 damage to each blocking creature, Kusari deals 2 damage to all creatures for each blocking creature damaged by Brigid.

So if the opponent has 4 creatures blocking, Brigid deals 2 to each, then Kusari deals a total of 8 damage to all creatures (2 damage to all 4 times). So with only one Binding Agony, that's 10 damage to all creatures and 10 damage to the opponent.

That's not including the damage going straight to the opponent from Greatbow. With the initial damage from Brigid and Greatbow, that would be another 10 damage straight to the opponent for a total of 20, correct?

Brigid does 2 to each creature. Kusari-Gama does 2 damage to each one 3 times. Each creature hit creates an instance of each other one taking 2. Binding Agony does 2 to the player. Doyen makes each of the 4 creatures 2 damage also go to the player. Total is 2*4(Brigid) + 2 (Binding Agony) = 10 to player. Each creature takes 2 form Brigid, then 2 for each other creature form Kusari-Gama for a total of 8.

I just thought of putting Basilisk Collar with Brigid.

And Binding Agony would deal another 8 to the player because of Kusari-Gama right? For a total of 18.

Basilisk Collar and Gorgon Flail are much easier, but I was looking to deal extra damage to the player. I think Binding Agony complements an Archer theme well, especially with Greatbow.

Depends on the toughness of the creature. If the creature has only 1 or 2 toughness then it will die to Brigid and not take any damage from the Kusari Gama.

Remember that each instance of 2 damage is a separate triggered effect and SBE are checked between each instance of 2 damage.

Ah. So in conclusion, Basilisk Collar or Gorgon Flail are probably better choices, unless the opponent has some pretty hefty creatures anyway.
