Deck overview

This deck is a dedicated glass-cannon combo deck built around The Infamous Cruelclaw and a single copy of Worldfire alongside 98 basic lands. The game plan is completely linear: play untapped basic lands on Turns 1 through 3, cast The Infamous Cruelclaw on Turn 3, and attack an opponent on Turn 4. Because Worldfire is the only nonland card in the library, Cruelclaw's combat damage trigger is guaranteed to exile directly into Worldfire and cast it for free by discarding a basic land. When Worldfire resolves, it exiles all permanents, hands, and graveyards, setting every player's life total to 1. From that point, the deck attempts to play basic lands for five turns, recast Cruelclaw on Turn 9, and attack each player once to finish the game. While deterministic in finding its centerpiece, the strategy is exceptionally fragile, running zero protection, ramp, or interaction, and giving opponents several turns to top-deck any damage source to win.
