1 damage to you from the unblocked Swarm.
Sage Owl dies a noble death.
Both Courser and Sphinx survive, and I mill 3 cards: Giant Growth, Lowland Basilisk, and Nyxborn Wolf.
Hobgoblin Dragoon.
Done.

I apparently forgot to reduce your life from the last attack -- you should be at 2. Sorry about that.

Untap, upkeep, draw.
Attack with my army of 1/1s. Blocks/responses?

In that case I would need to play my prior turn differently, as being at 3 life was a key assumption to my choices

Sorry about that. We can continue with you at 3, since that doesn't change MY strategy at this stage.

The other card in my hand is a Soltari Emissary, so I would have cast that and then killed the Dragoon with the Scroll, so if you could still kill me, then I figure we're done here

Well, I'm holding Weapon Surge to Overload on my alpha strike. So I either get one 2/1 creature through with you at 2 life or two 2/1 creatures through with you at 3 life.

Either way, I take it with a last-gasp move. This was a close one! Good game. I'm pretty sure I had you on a bit of a mana screw, but I'll take the win any way I can get it.

Yes, rokapoke is the winner. As it turned out, I might have won if I had blocked the Devils the first time; or if I'd just been willing to flip a coin with the Cursed Scroll earlier
