Solution
1. Cast Spike Jester, bolt the opponent and pass.
2A. The opponent casts Journey to Nowhere – we Disfigure Spike Jester in response. Since Journey is a mandatory Trigger, they exile Humbler of Mortals and are forced to pass. On our turn, we delve 3 to play Scavenger and Wrangle it to give it haste, and swing for lethal.
2B. The opponent swings with both. We chump block one of them, and go to 1. On our turn, we Disfigure + Wrangle the Humbler and swing for lethal.
2C. The opponent swings with one or just passes. We take the damage, if any, then Disfigure + Wrangle the Humbler and swing with our Spike Jester for lethal.
