In response I will activate Cursed Scroll, naming Ward of Lights, showing Ward of Lights, targeting the Woebringer Demon; then I will cast Ward of Lights as an instant on the Godhead, giving it protection from Black

Untap, upkeep, draw.
Attack with everything.
Swamp.
Done.
Good game.

Actually, very good game, in my opinion. I thought I had you there a few times, but you definitely had all the answers you needed. I'm looking forward to our next bout.

Yeah, I had a feeling that I'd need that Ward of Lights at instant speed. Also, the Sage Owl was well timed, as the Cursed Scroll was the fourth card down.
