Yep, I'll tap out and make as many of those little critters as possible. Oh, and Geistflame costs 3R, not 2R.

Whoops, my bad. Add another R.

So that's three tokens and you're tapped out, right?

Burning Vengeance triggers andd I'll target the Veteran and since you're tapped out, I assume there's nothing else you can do.

After all that resolves, I'll use the remaining U to use the Mesmerist on you.

Untap, upkeep - mill Island and Charmbreaker Devils (that would have been nice), Draw

Attack with all

Smite the Monstrous on the Sturmgeist and that's all I can do.

Good game. It couldn't have been any closer as you would have milled yourself next turn, which is what I was hoping for. My hand was full of lands. With the exception of the Jade Mage, I hadn't drawn anything but land for about 10 turns. Seriously, look at the spells you milled. It got to the point where I figured I might as well hold on to them, maybe getting you to back off from attacking, thinking I had something up my sleeve. The Smites had been kicking around since the beginning, wasting space. Ah well.

Again, good game. :)

Good game!

Yeah, I realized I had better start attacking a couple of turns back so that's why I started to clear your side of the board. Thank goodness for the flashback spells and Burning Vengeance as they finally stabilized the game for me.

Wanna go again with different Intro decks?

Sure, I don't care what we do. I'll have to dig up the deck lists, but when I do, I'll start a thread.
