Whew! I was thinking very carefully this past turn. I was about to Edict pre-combat, but I read through your decklist and realized you still had a possible out. I need one of your two creatures gone before I could comfortably play it.

I'll assume you'll play first in game 2?

Yeah, I'll play. But first, what play could I have made that required having two creatures in play? I can't figure it out.

Draw 7, keep.
Library of Alexandria.
Done.

You had Two Creatures (one of which was Tinder Wall). You had R/G available. You could've Metamorphosised your Shusher to get GG, then Channel 3 life into 3 colorless. Saccing the Tinder Wall would've given you enough to Word of Seizing my Kokusho before the Edict resolved, forcing me to sac another creature. I'm not sure if you would've been able to recover after this, but it would've given you another turn....


OOPS! My bad. Just realized that Metamorphosis is a sorcery. :D... oh well. That would my thought process, nonetheless.

Anyway, Draw 7, Keep, Draw, Temple Garden (paying 2), Land Tax. Done.

No. For the record, I don't have anything to counter any non-blue spells. So there's really no reason to ask for a response when casting things.
