first time posting a puzzle in a while, thought I'd bring back some MtG related puzzles. Enjoy!
BACKGROUND:
The usual magic rules apply here. Please be explicit in mana usage in your solution where relevant.
If you're fuzzy on a rule/interaction, here is the comprehensive rulebook and here is the mtg judge chat where you can ask rulings questions that you can't find on the web.
All permanents in the given setup below are owned by their controllers
Your solution may not assume that an opponent will cooperate with you in some way (e.g. choose no to a may ability that would be bad for you). Your solution must be able to win regardless of any potential choices made by your opponents; it must be able to beat the optimal plays from them.
PUZZLE SETUP:
It's your main phase 1 and you have just cast the card Master Warcraft. Both you and your opponent are nigh dead, but your opponent has a seemingly unbeatable board. Find a way to win before they get to their main phase 1 and kill you with the burn on top of their deck.
