Crazygambit's Scenario Game (Because They're Fun!)

[crazygambit]

Taking a page from Killtrend's great idea I though I'd try my hand at one of these.

Also taking a page from Ringel:

Play to guarantee a win. Guarantee means you must assume your opponent will have or draw any legal card to stop you no matter how unlikely, and you are certain to draw the most useless card possible.

Your opponent: Elementalis at 8 health, with 3 shadow energy. Has 4 resources (has been shrieking your portals like crazy), 2 cards in hand and a Shard, Spark and Snake in play. His library consists of 2 cards. He just sacrificed a Snake for life (to get to 8) and played Rain Delay before ending his turn. He has a Poison Gas attached. He also has already cast Soul Reaper once and there are no allies left in his graveyard.

You are playing Nishaven, are at 5 life, have 6 shadow energy, 5 resources and just drew the last card of your deck.

This is your hand: Aeon, Aldon, Bazaar, Reinforced Armor, 2 Extra Sharp and Jasmine.

You have in play 2 Blakes, Puwen, Aldon, Jasmine and 3 Ravens.

Win. Assume best possible play from your opponent (and post it).

I retain the right to fix this in case I made a horrible mistake.

Yeah, I quickly realized that this is too hard for me lol.

Stop creating these topics.

Post it in one place.

It's getting hard to find the guides here.

Can't the opponent just cast Bad Santa twice for the win?

How many cards are you holding?

Uhm, assuming Ele has MC, there's nothing you can do to win since he'll just MC one of your units and hit you for 6. You need more than 4 life to survive. And I know you can't MC an MC'd unit, but you can still MC a unit with a different attached effect, correct? I'm just making sure you're not getting at using the Extra Sharps/reinforced armors to prevent MC...

Edit: Forgot rain delay prevents his next attack too.

Me: Sac armor + Nish ability --> leaves me 3 Raven + 6 resources
Ele: Sac something, MC Raven + sac --> he's got 8 -1 + 5 = 12 life
Me: Sac Jas, drop aldon, Extra sharp on both Ravens, attack for 6 +6 = 12 life

If I sac or play anything current turn, I instantly lose to double bad santa-- each will hit me for 3 damage even if I am down a single card. If I don't use my power he will wipe out my allies next turn and ultimately I lose the game. So my current turn must be: Hold all cards, use power. This wipes the board except for 3 Ravens (too bad I can't armor up Aldon).

When I pass the turn he loses 1 life (yay poison!).

His turn: He can't attack me because of rain delay. If he doesn't take care of a Raven he will die to a total of 13 damage next turn (with extra sharps). If he takes care of a Raven but doesn't sac a creature he will die to a total of 10 damage next turn. This rules out Eternal Renewal which will matter in a moment.

His only remaining choice: Mind control 1 Raven, sac it for a life total of 12.

Now my turn: I sac Aeon, Extra sharp my Raven's for a total of 10 damage. Play bazaar. He dies to card draw and Poison. I do Snoopy dance.

@Ringel Nice, I think this is it! I wish I thought of that. Good puzzle, crazygambit.

Though, if we're being totally true to your guarantee conditions, it is unlikely but legal in this situation for Elementalis to have transferenced/dimension rippered a fireball earlier. If he plays it, he wins.

[crazygambit]

Excellent work Ringel! I hope it made you think a little.

Nice try Drone, but that loses.
