Even though I said verse ctr during my upkeep, I forgot to update my ctrs on the War Dance. So it actually has 7.

Sac the War Dance to give my Disciple +7/+7. Responses?

Healing Salve myself to prevent the next 3 damage to me.

... using the Fertile Island, that is. One mana burn.

Excellent! I can prevent that mana burn!

Power Sink that bad boy, with enough to tap you out plus one. Tapped out all my lands and the Merfolk for the extra mana.

Hold up. If you're tapping all of your lands plus the Merfolk, then X is 5, right? I do have enough mana to meet Power Sink 'cause I have 5 mana open. Am I seeing it right?

Before combat, you had Forest and Mt tapped. You tapped the Fertile Ground Island for the Healing Salve, leaving a blue floating. So you have 4 untapped lands left, so if you use the floating blue for Power Sink, X would be the 4 untapped lands + the Merfolk which would be 5 mana, right?

Sorry, I thought that was enough. I'll tap the Hierophants as well, and, if necessary, the Skirge would be last.

That's fine.

So results of combat are: Your Merfolk die, you would have taken 11 from my guys but you Healing Salved so you end up taking 8, correct? If so, Plains, Done
