I totally missed you didn't say done :)

No response to the Mine Bearer.

In response to your Circle, I'll pay G.

I'll block the Fiend w/ the Griffin and Pay (WB) to prevent the griffin from being destroyed.

None... I don't know how I keep missing "post quick reply"...

I swear i've responded to this 3-4 times... of course, I could be impatient and close the ie window before it finishes... :)

Pay B to prevent it.

I was trying to figure out how you were ahead in land... you played 2 in your turn w/ Outbreak...

Plains before attack, then Island after...

w/ all the rhystic stuff... it matters a bit...

You wouldn't have had the open Island to tap the griffin - and would have taken 2 flying...

If you play the Island now, the board is right except my griffin is untapped.

You're right, I think it was day delay between my attack step and end step that I got confused... in that case, I would have tapped both Plains to use my Sword Dancer on your Griffin so I would take just 1.

So yeah, I'll play the Island now and then use it to try to tap your Griffin again.

Not preventing the griffin being tapped now.

OK, to update

You did: Untap, Upkeep, Play Island.

Activate Deluge on my Shield Dancer (I prevented w/ Black)
Activate Deluge on my Griffin (not paying) - did you mean dancer? Either way I won't pay...
And you're still in your first main phase...

Geez, I'm so confused myself... yes, I meant the Dancer, not the Griffin <knocks my head>

So if you're allowing the Dancer to be tapped, my Beast will come over for an attack...
Responses/blocks?

Activate the Circle against the Thresher x3 as needed... No blocks or responses other than that... Thresher is my DOOOOOOM...

I'll pay WWB to keep the Thresher's dmg.

In addition, after all of that has resolved, I'll pay 1G for Wild Might (Target creature gets +1/+1 ueot. That creature gets an additional +4/+4 ueot unless any player pays 2) on my Beast.

Responses?

Um, nope... that'd be death for me...

With all the extra pay stuff, it's tough... Especially since you went first and are always a land up - even if I don't play any cards...

I had plenty of good cards, but the thresher was too much - and you had just the right removal for all my answers.

Hand:

Avatar of Hope - Hope was the final evil let out of Pandora's box...
Citadel of Pain - I couldn't afford to block my own Circle w/ it.
Spiketail Drake - never had a chance
Rhystic Deluge - see drake
Stormwatch Eagle - see drake
Flay - I was hoping to get you tapped out at some point, but you never did.
Bog Glider - pointless against thresher
Panic Attack - junk for this game
Inflame - junk since I couldn't do 2 to the thresher ever.
Rib Cage Spider - junk...

Good Game, well played, and you had a ton of removal plus the broken beast beats...

On to....Invasion!

Good game!

Yeah, I was hoping my Beast would carry me through. I had some guys in reserve though:

Hand:

Shrouded Serpent - my next guy
Darba - my guy after that
Agent of Shauku
Coastal Hornclaw
Despoil - probably was going to use it on a Plains
Greel's Caress
Rethink - mainly why I was keeping mana open
Rhystic Study - useless card :)

Onto Invasion!
