Sacrifice Salamander, Infantry, and Lion to give Elephant +6/+0 until EOT.
Since you have no cards in hand and no effects that could matter in this situation, I'll go ahead and assign 3 to the Cobra, 2 to Manny, 2 to the Specter, and 1 to you.

Done.

Any reason why you didn't pump up your Drake to kill my Drake since you have enough mana to do so? Just curious...

Drake phases out, Untap, Draw, look, it's a land! Concede. Good three matches. I just couldn't match your creature rush in the second two games (well, fliers too), although I might have played too conservatively in the third game

All right BigBlue, who're we playing next?

I couldn't. I can only pump Spitting Drake once per turn, making it a maximum of a 3/2. Your Drake is a 2/4.
No, you played correctly in the third game. On multiple occasions, I was hoping you would overextend yourself so that I could strike back. I actually had that Betrothed of Fire in my hand from very early in the game, I was just waiting for a good time to use it. (And hoping I'd draw out that Disenchant with my Sun Clasp.)
Oh, and if it's any consolation...my next two cards were lands. :)
But yes, excellent match. BB, who's up?

Ah, I missed the "once per turn". I had a Wall coming up but after that land (I had a land and Phantom Wings in my hand).

Hmmm...

Well, let's see. Istanbul has played Mastershake & Spiderman - leaving me, train & azreal (all of whom are currently in matches).

And Spidey, you've played Train, myself, and Istanbul leaving Azreal & Mastershake (both currently in matches).

Azreal & Train have been taking their own sweet time on their match (over a month and still in game 1).

So, I'll assume Mastershake and I finish first. That'd mean I'd play Istanbul and Mastershake would play Spidey unless train/Az finish first in which case it'd be Spidey vs Azreal and Isty vs Train.

Until then, which card did you want from the 2 ante cards Istanbul?
