Block w/ Both... lemme guess... damage on stack, sacrifice him to make a 1/1 Insect named flutterby at eot?

I'll do you one better... RG for Earthbrawn (Target creature gets +3/+3 until EOT. Reinforce 1 - 1G (1G, discard ~: Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature)), so I have a gigantic trampling Caterpillar.

Any response to that? If not, I'll stack 2 damage to the Rats and 4 to the Viper, trampling over for 3 to you.

If that's the case, I'm done.

Where is trample coming from? I've no response, other than this is looking even worse for me... but I don't think there's trample there.

My play will be untap, upkeep, draw
Play Swamp - not exactly what I needed
Done

Sorry about that. The trample came from the super version of Earthbrawn that exists in my head... and the card Predator's Strike, which is, unfortunately, not Earthbrawn. Or something like that.

Moving on.
Untap, upkeep, draw.
Attack with the full collection.
Responses/blocks?
If not, I'm done.

Melkor is correct...

So, he isn't dead as a result of Sandstorm... The best I can think for resolution is for you to take 2 from when he would have hit you for 2, and then just keep him in play as unused until now. Care to rethink your attack?

Sigh... block the cheetah w/ the rats, take 5...

I'll put the rats back on top of library at your eot.

After damage stacks to the Cheetah and Rats, I'll tap out and sacrifice the Cheetah to kill your Skirge. 1 more damage to you for that.

If you'd like to change your Stronghold target to the Skirge, you may do that.

Done.

That's game... I don't know how much the skirge being 2/2 affected me for those couple turns, but probably not enough to matter... I was hesitant to attack w/ the rabid rats and in hindsight that probably hurt worse... although you simply had too much removal for me to deal with. If I'd had those 2 things go my way, it would have affected this... Oh well. good game... We'll meet again another week.

Good game to you as well. I'm glad I was able to pull it out -- the double Slingers made a huge difference. If you had ever gotten the upper hand, the recurring Rats would have been my demise instead of yours...

Best of luck going forward. Except, of course, against me ;)
