I'll use the Plague Witch on the Wurm Token and discard Thornwood Falls. Responses?

As it stands now, the Wurm Token, your Dragon token, and your Warden of Evos Isle will die; my Pilgrim's Eye and Skulking Ghost will die, and you will take 3 from my unblocked Warden.

With only 1 card in hand..... ha ha

I die. Wow that took forever..... I had nothing for most of that game.
Good one.

You should have 2 cards, the Touch draws a card and one from the Enchantress. Based just on what was on the board, I could have finished this several turns ago, but I didn't want to run into something from your hand. Based just on the board, I thought you could have killed me with the Blood Artist and the Tooth and Claw earlier. Happy to win, good game.

I only tracked cards in hand if there seemed to be a discrepancy and mostly just sent draws out when it looked like people needed them. But it does look like you're right. Mooseman's next draw turned out to be Rancor, for what it's worth. Probably not all that informative because it doesn't save him, but it draws a variable amount of cards via Mesa Enchantress and a sac outlet (Tooth and Claw). So while I'd think it would have been too late to save him, it's a complicated situation and I could easily miss some line of play that might work. I also didn't consider a possible Blood Artists kill and didn't do the math on it, but that's an interesting thought.

Anyway, it looks like Melkor is the first and only CPA Eternal Masters Pack Wars champion!

Yep, the blood artist was only real shot at this one. I just couldn't get any synergy going with my card pool
It was cool.
