Activate the Advocate to prevent the dmg, responses?

(* There are no "rulings" on this card on Gatherer... but it doesn't state a card must by in the GY to activate it... but maybe I'm missing something. I see it as simply only having one effect instead of 2. *)

Well, it asks for a target card in the graveyard, so there has to be a legal target, i.e. card for you to use it, I believe...

Whoops, we can back up to your turn if you want.

No response to Ember Shot, nor the use of your Advocate if that's what you're doing during my turn :) Still done after my attack.

I will prevent with the Advocate - will you play yours again?

For the win... ? (or the loss)

Untap, Upkeep

Play Island

Swampwalk w/ everything for 14.

Damage on Stack?
Damage resolves?

I've nothing else during combat.

After combat play Goretusk Firebeast - cip deals 4 to you.

Game now? I don't have anything else useful so if you do, you win.

Left in hand is Toxic Stench - useless w/ Bodyguard
And Wormfang Beheamoth...

Yeah, you got me. Good game! I'm not sure whether I should have applied more pressure but...

Rest of my hand:

Morality Shift
Canopy Claws
Guided Strike - both would have been good IF there wasn't any landwalk...
Lava Dart - was hoping you'd get down in cards so I could use it on your Ink guy
Nantucko Tracer - get back a card with the Strike
Wormfang Drake - supposed to be my hole card if you got rid of the Crab

Onto Onslaught!

BigBlue

I was seriously considering concession once you played your advocate... your unblockable was impossible... I couldn't get to threshhold to use the toxic stench when you played your bodyguard... And once you stopped putting your own stuff in your graveyard my advocate was useless.

I think you'd have got me if you pressed harder...

Yeah, you never know until the game is over. I was just content with a steady 3 dmg and keeping enough blockers out, but I couldn't really do anything about the landwalk.

At first I wasn't thinking w/ Filth... I was hung up on your ability to bounce it back w/ Advocate - and in a sort of blonde moment was forgetting I could simply discard him again... But also, I knew I had to get through for just about every point of damage or I couldn't do enough and would die...

It was a very good, very close match.
