Win This Turn! A Dino-Tastic Puzzle
Roar! Your Huatli, Poet of Unity // Roar of the Fifth People just reached its final counter & you're ready to deal a buttload of damage this turn. But can you deal 40? Let's find out in this episode of Possibility Storm, a puzzle series where you try to win this turn.
How does this work?
Pretend you're playing a regular game of magic, but it's your turn & your opponent is tapped out with no interaction. As such you can figure out the turn & try to win in a completely solitaire fashion. Given it's a puzzle, we promise you CAN win as well, as long as you find the line.
For any decisions your opponent would make it, think through all their options and choose the one that would stop you from winning if there is one. In this puzzle, that's mostly about blocking and you can assume they'll block in order to reduce damage as much as they can, even if that means chumping.
Once you've found the solution (or if you give up), you can confirm against the official one here.
Any Hints?
Well, let's just say your Dreadmaw should really be shaking the ground & winning some big power prizes.. A little Sibling Rivalry (-1 blocker, +1 attacker) usually adds a ton of damage too, but the dino is your hint. Also watch out for the first strike on Breeches- it can kill a 3/3 before that dino gets the chance to deal regular damage, so 6 damage becomes 3 instead : ( Finally, be sure to read your cards carefully.
