4 damage to the Spider mills the following: Mountain, Wild Nacatl, Prodigal Pyromancer (oh, if only I had drawn him so long ago!), Wayfarer's Bauble.

I'm sure you'll regen your Dead. You'll find that it doesn't matter.

Aftershock to kill your Scarecrow. I'm dead.

Good game -- two matches in a row you turned around a crushing defeat!

All I could think was, "All I need to do is draw my Thunderblade Charge to deal 3 damage, or Simoon to kill his critters (while you still had the Godhead out)..."

Alas, it was not to be.
