Dark Ascension Event Decks: Spidey (Gleeful Flames) vs Oversoul (Spiraling Doom)

Oversoul

OK, I'll play Forest, then cast Birthing Pod. I'll tap out to activate Birthing Pod, sacrificing Strangleroot Geist to find Viridian Corrupter, which targets your Infiltration Lens. And Strangleroot Geist comes back with a +1/+1 counter. Responses?

So Haunted Fengraf picked Goblin Gaveleer and then you cast it as fuel for the second Goblin Grenade? Doesn't really matter because these decks contain no cards that care about graveyard order, but I was confused about the second Goblin Grenade being cast without a goblin on the field...

Well, I misread Haunted Fengraf. I thought it put the creature onto the battlefield directly, which is why I said <someone> because I thought it didn't matter. But since it puts it into my hand, you can decide which I do since I messed up: I can either commit to using the Fengraf and see what I actually do get, in case I get a creature with a greater casting cost of R, or you can let me not use the ability and you'll still have the Geist for your turn.

Sorry about that.
 

Oversoul

The Tentacled One
Ah, might as well rewind it. So you choose not to use Fengraf yet and to keep your second Goblin Grenade in hand?

Yeah, thanks. I'll rewind then and let you take your turn.
