Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, Papalymo Totolymo deals 1 damage to each opponent and you gain 1 life.
, , SacrificePapalymo Totolymo: Each opponent who lost life this turn sacrifices a creature with the greatest power among creatures they control.
Cast a high density of cheap noncreature spells to drain every opponent for 1 and gain life each time, grinding the table down while you build advantage. Papalymo is a 2-mana engine that turns cantrips, removal, and rituals into incremental damage and life buffer, then his sacrifice ability strips creatures from anyone you've already pinged. You win by chaining spells into a lethal ping count or pairing the drain with damage doublers and storm-style turns.
Costs only 2 mana, so the engine comes online early and rebuilds fast after a wipe
Hits all opponents at once, making it strong in multiplayer and against go-wide boards
Built-in lifegain keeps you alive through aggression and fuels lifegain payoffs
BW gives access to the format's best removal, tutors, and recursion
Doubles as removal via the sacrifice ability after you've drained opponents
Each trigger only deals 1 damage, so it's slow without multipliers or high spell volume
Reliant on the commander staying in play; it's a magnet for removal at 2 mana
Sacrifice ability removes him for a one-shot effect and costs 4 plus a tap
Can run low on gas if you flood out on lands or creatures
