A local shop posted this question. Your opponent starts the game with this in play but has no hand or library and will not attack. Can you craft a way to win the game? You can start with any life total, and can craft your draws however you see fit.
They have hexproof, you cannot attack, all of their enchantments have shroud, they have Eidolon of Rhetoric in play so you can only cast 1 spell per turn AND Erayo’s Essence so the first spell is countered anyway. Oh and all permanents enter tapped thanks to Frozen Æther and Back to Basics makes it so that non-basics like Cavern of Souls and Boseiju can’t untap.
I’ve been looking through cards for a while and I can’t come up with anything.
Edit: I missed a crucial point - you have no opening hand so Leylines can’t just come into play
easy!
don’t do anything for a while, keep discarding to hand size, Unearth this
bounce everything, leaving them with empty board, the forecast this card
since they don’t have a library they lose the game! :)
Unearth doesn’t work they have a leyline of the void.
fine…then its a bit more convuled, but cast Altered Ego (can’t be countered) on Progrnitor Mimic copying Elesh Norn (none of which targets), cast Surrak Dragonclaw, cast the Leviathan, forecast Skyscribing. It’s gonna take a few more turns but it should work.
The altered ego would die by the time you can cast it, because of the same progenitor mimic
I think?
at that point id say theres no answer then…
Cast Wreak Havoc at the Platinum Angel and pass turn? I can’t actually make out all those cards, it’s too pixelated
in the first post they say what cards do, everything has shroud so you cant target anything, even the opponent
@blogging-phelddagrif Cast Genesis Hydra for 10 it gets countered but that doesn’t matter we just want the ability. Reveal the leviathan which ETBs automatically bouncing everything to hand then forecast Skyscribing.
genesis hydra is the card named by meddling mage, you can’t even attempt to cast it :/
Savage summoning to cast Kalemne’s Captain, make it monstrous to exile all artifacts and enchantments?
you can only cast 1 spell/turn because of eidolon of rhetoric
Does this not work?
sphinx would die due to elesh norn’s ability, no time to cast the sorcery
Yeah I forgot Mimic makes another Elesh Norn each turn. :/
