I'm just going to start off by saying I have a Leyline of Punishment https://scryfall.com/card/m11/...eyline-of-punishment and I will be putting it into play before the game starts.

In response to the attempt to equip the boots to Torbran - I tap 2B and cast Hero's Downfall https://scryfall.com/card/sld/312/hero's-downfall
    Destroy target creature or planeswalker.

Sure, I can't do anything about it. Take 4 from Leyline. Then I'll swing everything at you for payback (Birgi (3/3) and Tyrant (4/4)).

I'll edit my post to show the effects.

Re: Still doin' that research

While we're retconning past posts, I'm back at my main comp. now and the land I had wasn't a Island, it was Forge of Heroes.

And now I remember the reason I planned it out was I wanted to use the extra mana for Study Hall. SO I'm going to say that instead of the Island I played Forge of Heroes, and I'll tap it to put a +1/+1 on Volo.

Sorry for messing that up.

Re: Turn Order:- Munch, Grizzly, Matthew

BTW - when Fanatic of Mogis dealt me damage last turn - No Mercy destroys it.

TURN SEVEN
Untap, Upkeep, Draw
1st Main Phase:
Tap BBB to cast Geralf's Messenger https://scryfall.com/card/dka/63/geralf's-messenger
   As it comes into play, each of you lose 1 life and I gain one life from my General.

I also target Grizzly with Geralf's coming into play ability to make him lose 2 more life.

I tap 2 to cast Power Conduit https://scryfall.com/card/mrd/229/power-conduit

I then tap my general to sacrifice Geralf's Messenger and draw a card.
   Geralf's Undying triggers and he comes back to play with a +1/+1 counter.

As it comes back to play, I target Grizzly to lose another 2 life.  Oh, and my general triggers again and each of you lose 1 life and I gain 1 life.

Finally, I tap my Power Conduit to move the +1/+1 counter from Geralf's Messenger and put in onto my General instead.

EDIT: Finally, I also play the swamp I just piced up for that extra draw!

Good point...   Me choosing to deal you 4 damage through the two appearances of Geralf are very costly...   Sorry Munch - you get the 4 damage instead.   I can't afford the 8 damage!

And I don't want a Juggernaut either - given I'm pretty sure Volo has more than one stashed!

Not if someone kills off Torbran this turn. Then I'll get one more chance to go crazy.

Munch:
He said he was hitting you with it, and I'm not letting him change it now since that would put me at -1.


You are right - it is unfair for me to change my mind because I hadn't read the battlefield and got hit with payback damage from Grizzly's Leyline of Combustion when I targetted Grizzly with Geralf's entering the battlefield ability... however I did it TWICE in the same turn.  What WOULD be fair is to allow me to at least change the second one - since I think I would have noticed the damage hitting me from the first occasion and had a chance to say to myself - "hey, that was painful, where did that come from?  Oh yeah, that was dumb - let me not do that again!" - before the second activation.

But hey, we're both about to lose to Grizzly anyway, so it's all moot...  :-)

SO - to correct my life at the end of my last turn - instead of the 14 I had writtem, I should have only actually had 3.   -8 from two ill-advised targetting of Grizzly and -3 from forgetting Roiling Vortex damage (and Torbran's extra) in my upkeep last turn.  Which would basically mean MY death in my upkeep...

IF we allowed me to actually revert ONE of Geralf's to target Munch instead - leaving him either on 1 - then my life starting my turn would be 7...

TURN EIGHT
Untap,
Upkeep, Take 1+2 damage from two Vortex - presumably enhanced by Torbran to 3+5.  - Which would kill me, but in response to the triggers, I tap Ayara and sacrifice Geralf's Messenger, who comes back to play with a +1/+1 counter.  Geralf's messenger deals 2 damage to Munch, killing him, then Ayara deals 1 damage to Grizzly, and I gain 1 life, meaning I survive my upkeep on 1 life.
Draw
1st Main Phase:
Play a Swamp

Tap 2 swamps and Cabal Stronghold for BBBB to cast Endling https://scryfall.com/card/plist/94/endling
   As he comes into play, Grizzly loses 1 life and I gain 1 life from my General.

Tap 2B to cast Lord of the Accursed https://scryfall.com/card/akr/114/lord-of-the-accursed
   As he comes into play, Grizzly loses 1 life and I gain 1 life from my General.

Attack Phase:
Tap and attack Grizzly with Geralf's Messenger (4/3, Undying)


AND then concede - since I'm going to die in my next upkeep and I haven't done anywhere near enough to kill Grizzly.

That Torbran is a seriously bad ass general!

Re: Turn Order:- Munch, Grizzly, Matthew

Technically you can't gain life either with the Sulfuric Vortex out, but who cares lol
