This week is the third and final puzzle showcasing the new cards from Modern Masters, and finds you in your first main phase, across the table from a Jeskai affinity player gearing up for a lethal attack. Survive their assault and make it to your next turn!
Player: 1 Life Field: Dinrova Horror, Angelic Renewal Lands: Swamp x2, Plains x1, Island x2 Hand: Journey to Nowhere, Field Surgeon, Aven Riftwatcher, Prismatic Strands, Chainer's Edict Opponent: 4 Life Field: Myr Enforcer x2, Gearseeker Serpent, Ardent Recruit, Blade-Tribe Berserkers Lands: 2x Ancient Den, 1x Seat of the Synod, 2x Great Furnace Library: Seat of the Synod
Solution
1. Cast Journey to Nowhere on Gearseeker Serpent.
2. Attack with Dinrova Horror.
3a. If the opponent trades with it: accept the Angelic Renewal trigger. On ETB, return your own Plains to your hand and discard Prismatic Strands. Chainer’s Edict the opponent.
3b. If the opponent chump blocks: during your second main phase, Chainer’s Edict yourself. On ETB, return your own Plains to your hand and discard Prismatic Strands.
4. Play the Plains and cast Field Surgeon. Pass the turn.
5. The opponent attacks with all. Block Myr Enforcers with Dinrova Horror and the Surgeon. Flashback Prismatic Strands by tapping the Surgeon if the opponent chump blocked last turn, and tap Dinrova Horror to prevent the next 1 point of damage that would be dealt to it.
6. Combat happens. You take no damage, and your Horror survives, ready to deal lethal damage next turn!
