Done

So my first few league games I get all my big beaters but not enough lands to play them. I pull one beater out and replace it with a land, and then I get this instead. :/
I swear workstation's randomization sucks monkey balls.

I noticed that myself when I switched in an extra land, sometimes one card just messes up the Feng Shui of the deck

Untap, Upkeep, Draw

Give Emissary Shadow; Attack with Trooper, Emissary and Chronozoa, responses?

UUD.
Good game.
I've got nothing but lands, so go ahead and deliver the killing blow.

By the way, would the Rootwalla really have died? The damage doesn't get cleaned up prior to it reverting back to a 2/2?

I actually don't know about the damage thing but I had previously screwed up and not put down that Chronozoa has Flying, so the only way you could have blocked him was with the Cannon.

Ah, okay. I would have definitely used the Mogg Cannon, then.
