The games I play in real life NEVER go this well!

This game is not looking good for me. Seems like you got close to your best possible opening.

Yeah, pretty much. And my draws have been amazing.

38/1
Two lands untapped.
Ok. Well let's try this because I think one more turn and I better scoop at this rate ;).
Draw. {quirion ranger}. Tap gaeas cradle for three. Cast {fydenhorn elder}. Tap the heirophant to untap the cradle. Tap it again for four. Use the quirion ranger to bounce the tapped forest and to untap the heirophant. Use her to untap the cradle, and then tap the cradle again (8 mana floating). Replay the forest, which triggers their heirophant to untap. Use her to untap the cradle. Cast {silk lash spider} (3 mana floating). Tap the cradle for five (8 ). Activate silk lash to deal six damage to each flying creature. (I think yours are 4/4 and 6/6, if thy are bigger let me know and I will pump more). Pass.
40/2. Four lands up
In response to you summoning the Silk-Lash Spider, I tap two lands and cast {Dash Hopes} to counter it. Response?
Umm. That's your only card in hand, and now all tapped, and no cards on the field that can be activated (except mana abilities). Yes? If so activate {life force} to counter it (I made sure to have two forests untapped the whole time.
If you have more cards in hand or any tricky looking activated abilities I'll pay the five life to counter it instead.
Damn, I forgot about Life Force. Got nothing for that. Rune-Scarred Demon and Indomitable Archangel die. Is that your turn done?
Yes. Two forests still untapped.
40/2
UK, UT, draw.
Tap Gilded Lotus for three Black.
Tap Thran Dynamo, Sol Ring and Everflowing Chalice for eleven colourless.
Use two Black and 3 colourless to cast {Increasing Ambition}. One Black and eight colourless in the pool.
Use remaining mana to cast Increasing Ambition from graveyard for its flashback cost. Tutor for a total of three cards, unless you have a response.
I'm away for my deck now, so it might take me a while, or even till tomorrow to respond.
Counter the second one with life force , so you get to tutor for whatever you were going to tutor first, and the spell is exiled.
Okay.
Tap Temple of the False God and two lands into Quicksilver Amulet, accelerating {Ashen Rider} onto the field. Can't be countered due to it not being hard-cast.
Target Life Force to be exiled.
In end step, flicker Ashen Rider to exile Silklash Spider.
End turn.
38/0
Yeah, screw your counter spell enchantment! XD
Huh? I thought you used all the mana to cast and flash back
Kicking myself. I knew I should have paid life instead of mana for that counter spell last turn.
I didn't use any of my lands though. Only artifacts.
Yeah. Teaches me to assume I won't have to counter two spells from a guy with an empty hand ;)
Draw. Cast {jorga tree speaker}. Durdle my mana around like last time to cast {nemata grove guardian} and 13 saporlings (I can show my math if you need it). Pass.
40/2
Edit. Double checked my math. I only get 12 saporlings.
UT, UK, draw.
Tap Gilded Lotus for three Black, and Sol Ring to cast {Tempt with Immortality}, targeting Rune-Scarred Demon. Do you resurrect anything?
I don't think there are any creatures in my graveyard. I think the dead were exiled.
Okay then!
Rune-Scarred Demon hits the field, I tutor for a card.
End turn.
38/1
Draw. Cast {staff of domination}. Response? (In following our no infinite combo rule, I will follow my local house rule of not repeating a self repeating combo thing more than three times per turn)
No response.
Ok. Tap the cradle for 17. Cast {beast master assertion}. Tap the stone seeder to untap the cradle. Use four mana to activate the staff to untap the heirophant, and then activate the staff to untap the staff. Do that twice more. 36 mana. Use the staff to tap all your creatures (five mana per creature). And use the rest of the mana to make as mana saporlings as I can. Attack with 12 saporlings (6/6 due to the beast master. Game?
Yeah, that's game. Good move at the end there! GG, +1!
Thanks! GG. We can go again sometime for fun if you like. Maybe different decks.
