Sometimes you face a bunch of bad choices. Had a fun deck with five Body Droppers and only 15 lands. Good times! But sometimes you end up cornered.

I have drawn my sacrifice fodder but not my sacrifice eaters. Oppo took the play, pulled, and ate a discard but has a board with 5 power to my 2. Here are the lines as I saw it:

• Attack with open mana and use Quick-Draw Dagger if they block.
• Blitz out the Plasma Jockey and attack with the team.
• Pass the turn with open mana to try and block the attack.

What’s the play?

Needless to say, these are all terrible options. If I attack, there’s just no reason for them to block. And taking two damage when you can crack back for more than twice as much just isn’t a concern. The Blitz does dig me deeper, but I’m still hideously behind on board. And sitting back also isn’t great–what if they don’t attack?–but it offers the highest upside if I can snag a creature and build out my board.

Sadly, oppo didn’t attack, cast that 3/3 flier as I flooded out.
