Mindwhip Sliver
Attack for 4

And that would be game, since I can't stop your flier or shadow

I came close this time.... just needed a swamp to swat the shadow guy..... ugh

 

[turgy22]

I don't think that's game just yet... Melkor (depends on what he draws, of course) can only deal 5 damage to you next turn, since the emissary is only a 1/1 creature.

 

[Mooseman]

Well then Draw and see what you can do.....

[Melkor]

Block Heart with Godhead and Mindwhip with Emissary

 

[Mooseman]

No block on the metallic.
Anything before combat damage?

 

[Melkor]

Nope

 

[Mooseman]

Game? Am I missing something here?

 

[Melkor]

No, it is game over, I have a Plains in my hand.

 

[Spiderman]

Nice, Mooseman!

 

[rokapoke]

What an oddly anticlimactic ending.

Good job though, Moose!

 

[Mooseman]

OK, I'm not sure how that even happened. That Godhead was always kicking my ass, but I guess the muscle really helped.
Good game Melkor, I was constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I even gave up at one point..... to quick to think I lost.

 

[Melkor]

Yeah, the Muscle Sliver basically negates the Godhead, but really in retrospect I was just too agressive. I should have had the Godhead just stay back and block until I got some back up, rather than just plunging ahead and assuming something good would come up.
