: Add or . Spend this mana only to cast a noncreature spell.
Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, if at least four mana was spent to cast it, put a +1/+1 counter on The Emperor of Palamecia. Then if it has three or more +1/+1 counters on it, transform it.
Starfall — Whenever The Lord Master of Hell attacks, it deals X damage to each opponent, where X is the number of noncreature, nonland cards in your graveyard.
Lead with The Emperor early as a ramp dork that only fuels noncreature spells, then chain big (4+ mana) instants, sorceries, and artifacts to load +1/+1 counters and transform him into The Lord Master of Hell. Once flipped, attack to burn each opponent for the number of noncreature, nonland cards in your graveyard, often killing the table over a turn or two while you keep slinging spells.
