Had a nail-biter of a game tonight!
Highlights:
Stole Geode Rager from angry Omnath, on my end step. Got hit hard, going down to 5 life from a Crackle With Power. Have Black Market Connections in play, and 2 cards in hand: Mana Drain and Mind Grind.
During the next turn cycle, I Mana Drained angry Omnath when it was recast, putting away 7 mana for my turn. I don't draw a land, so I took 3 life to draw another card and make a treasure, going to 2 life, because the player after me had 6 power in the air that I could neither block nor remove. Drew the land! Played land and goad that player, then cast Mind Grind for X=17. That milled Omnath to 0, and left the other player with 3 cards in their library. The last card in my hand was something that milled for 3, so I was good to mill them out on my next turn.
