Re: Icky Insects Ingest Irritating Interlopers

Am I right in saying your attack last round was actually a typo?   Your insects aren't showing as attacking - and you wouldn't have had 5 BG ones to attack with anyway...  If so, then I'll edit my last turn to forget about your attack.

Are you attacking me or my planeswalker?

Ah, it doesn't matter, the 3 bugs and the shapeshifter will all block. How would you like to assign damage?

Actually, that doesn't matter either.

One thing will survive, so I'll use that on my turn.

Draw:  Draw 1

Activate Grist's -2 Ability to sac either the insect or Shapeshifter that survived blocking.

Grist's swarm eats the Beloved Chaplin.

Tap the rest and spend four mana to power my Birthing Boughs and make a beautiful baby Changeling.

Re: Icky Insects Ingest Irritating Interlopers

Had a look at my next draw, and I can't see a way out of this - so I think I will concede here.   I picked my deck at random from my commander decks - definitely wasn't playing well :-)

I'm going to be short on time over the next week, so I'm going to focus effort on the 4 way game... starting tomorrow!

My Counterplay was Carrion. You try to exile him and he just explodes into 8 0/1 maggots. :p
