Well if the Elf deck hadn't gone off by turn four, it must not have been a very good elf deck in the first place.

You can always donate a Abyssal Persecutor with Lightning Greaves on it and Darksteel plate with pacifism on it while controlling a platinum angel with the same equipment minus the pacifism. You have just won if they can't git rid of either one

Two words: Thought Lash.
Two more words: Good bye.

Why not donate your Necropotence? It's the kinda card that if you run it, you can plan ahead. But your opponent will definitely not be expecting to have his draw step taken away and have to pay life to get cards in hand.

Donate your Phage the untouchable. Turn to mist.

My big question is this: are there any cards that can donate instants while they're on the stack? If so.... such wonderful carnage we could reap. In any case, donate does some nasty stuff.

"This is an example of a well-designed card."
BZZZZZZZZZZZT. Wrong. Do not pass "Go", do not collect $200.
Donate + Delusions of Grandeur* = nearly guaranteed victory for yourself, and a fairly easy 2 card combo to pull off. Play the Delusions, pay the cumulative upkeep a couple of turns, then donate. You'll keep your 20 life you gained, and when your opponent can't pay the upkeep (which will be very soon now, being that it will probably be a 6-mana upkeep cost by then), he'll lose 20 life - unpreventable loss of life. How do you recover from that?
Yes, this was the original ridiculous broken 2-card combo before Painter's Servant and Grindstone. Guys, there was always a reason it was never too easy to "donate" one of your cards to your opponent just like that. But the "Wizards" seem to always leap before they look when it comes to breaking sacred rules of this game.
Before this, the nastiest 2-card combo was Lich ... (see all)

you don't loose by donating phage, this is not an aura that leaves play as the opponent does. So when the player looses, phage doesn't come back to you but leaves play as well ^^

Throw this in with illusions of grandeur and i think its a game winner, you just gotta play donate either the same turn or the next turn as you play this. or Sanguine bond with it

Aside from the multiple uses of "giving away" something really annoying, I use this in a Dominus of Fealty Deck to permanently get control over well... a permanent. Bazaar Trader pretty much allows you to achieve the same results in most cases, but there are times where Donate just does it better.
