This week’s puzzle finds you at the climax of a rousing match in the Just For Fun room. While your opponent has weathered the assult thus far, the time has come to show them the true power of Grixis elves by winning this turn!
Player: 2 Life
Field: Plague Witch, Scarred Vinebreeder, Thornbow Archer w/
Crown of Suspicion
Lands: Mountain x2, Island x2, Swamp x3
Hand: Wings of Velis Vel, Ebony Charm, Shrivel, Twin Bolt
Opponent: 14 Life
Field: Slippery Bogle, Silhana Ledgewalker, 0/1 Plant Token,
Valeron Outlander
Solution
1. Cast Wings of Velis Vel on Thornbow Archer, making it a 6/3 Flying
2. Exile Wings of Velis Vel to pump Scarred Vinebreeder
3. Sacrifice Crown of Suspicion. Since Thornbow Archer is a Changeling, all creatures get +2/-1, killing the opponent’s Bogle, Ledgewalker and Plant, as well as your plague witch. Vinebreeder is a 6/3
4. Cast Twin Bolt to finish off the opponent’s Outlander and deal 1 to them
5. Attack with both creatures. Thornbow Archer’s ability knocked the opponent down to 12, and your creatures finish them off
