Toughness wipe: one card sets every other creature's base toughness to 1 (or another small number), and the other repeatedly kills anything that small — a standing -1/-1, damage to each creature, or a pinger that untaps when a creature dies. Together they wipe the board and kill whatever enters after (once, if the toughness change only lasts the turn).
