Bone Sabre triggers only when an opposing ally is damaged by it, not hero. Also, your second Frostmare is still stuck on the bottom of your graveyard. Undying Bond retrieved Furion Terror and Frostmare, so you only have one.

[Kosmiker]

nevermind, thought that bond only retrieved undeads...

[Azbycx]

Furion terror is not undead... so no we wouldn't be retrieved by Bond, but yeah, forgot about the Bone Sabre thing. Guess I attack an ally and end turn as well.

Undying Bond retrieves any ally, not just Undead

[Kosmiker]

Yep, you're right.

New answer: 5, 4, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

Steps 1 and 2 not needed, which leaves you with 1 extra damage from Bone Sabre unused.



The old one was the better puzzle, it's trickier and more precise.

Very nice job! To be fair: i wanted to change the puzzle to make it fit to my different solution, but your it's much better!

[Delay of Game]

These threads have a way of making me feel really stupid.

If the answer isn't "just stealth" or "offer draw,"....then it's impossible for me to solve
