[Mooseman]

Yes, Sandstorm to deal 1 damage to all attacking creatures.... does that work? Doesn't the triggered ability go on the stack after attackers are declared and the sandstorm stacks on top of that?
Please?

 

[Melkor]

Judge!

(Though I think you're right)

 

[turgy22]

I thought Mooseman was the best judge we had here. One of you guys might want to PM Ransac or Oversoul, since they're the only ones that might know better than you two and probably aren't paying attention to this game.

I'm not a judge, but I also think Mooseman is correct.

 

[Melkor]

Good enough for me, Trooper dies, you take 3?

 

[Mooseman]

I take 3.

[Mooseman]

And of course I top deck...... a swamp.... how anti-climactic.....
Good game. I thought I had you, and then I drew land, after land.... Sandstorm was a hopeful draw, but not enough.

 

[Melkor]

I thought you were going to get me too, but got the right creatures to slow you down.
