Mana advantage is a real thing, and being able to triple-spell on turn 5 is usually a pretty delightful thing. While I doubt there’s a wrong answer, it’s important to squeeze out every angle of value.

It’s clear that we’re casting all of our spells, but at what?
- Lifelinker in the sky
- A gathering throng that trades with our ground forces
- Or that stupid 2/1 epic common angel
I think I’m favored to win here, so my priority is to remove ways that I lose. One of the clearest ways I lose is if the lifelinker gets bigger and I fall behind in the race. Clear Strangle target. At the opposite end, the 1/2 isn’t really a threat and can safely be ignored. Then, the tiebreaker was “What gets through the most damage” so I Hold for Ransom their Throng. Ultimately they don’t really draw anything and I win pretty easily, but always good to practice good form!
