My wife did the usual and curved into a board of vamps, in this game consisting of
Cordial Vampire,
Drana,
Sanctum Seeker, and
Kalitas, Bloodchief of Ghet with a
Cabal Coffers threatening more nonsense for future turns.
However, Drana was unable to connect because
Kefnet brickwalls her.
Ixidron slammed the brakes on things before Kalitas could get rolling, and
Vesuvan Shapeshifter was able to flip back face up as a copy of Ixidron making two 7/7 beaters on the opposite side of the table. Quadruple chumped one with facedown vamps for the trade to get rid of one, shrink the other, and get Drana back to the command zone with only one card in hand (a swamp).
Drew
Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx with only Drana for devotion and no cards in hand.
At this point Kefnet's victory seemed assured, and monoblue copycat nonsense with
Archaeomancer and
Clone effects ensued, buying back
Turnabout multiple times, but not finding a way to slam the door on the game.
Drew
Champion of Dusk, which drew
Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief and something else I can't remember. No matter. Coffers and Nykthos plus the 6+ devotion from Drana and the freshly drawn vamps was enough to get
OG Drana enough mana to zap Kefnet and something else relevant before her namesake swung in.
The blue deck couldn't answer either Drana or any of the big mana lands on it's turn, so the next turn was just using a billion mana to have OG Drana nuke everything before swinging in for huge damage. The blue deck desperately topdecked and still couldn't find an answer. GG.
