Hola foro!

Di turno ho pescato delta che ho giocato. La situazione di gioco è questa:
Adesso bisogna decidere se passare il turno rimanendo open per drain o vendilion oppure fare sol ring. Voi cosa fareste?
Ovviamente opto per la prima scelta e passo perchè se gioca minaccia io posso fare drain e dopo posso giocare un po' di cose dalla mia mano, compreso anche il sol ring, anche saccando 1 permanente di canna. Inoltre se non fa nulla (improbabile date le 5 carte in mano) posso prendere tempo tirando vendilion e saccandolo di canna, per avere nuovamente drain attivo. In quel caso pero' ci toccherebbe saccare 2 permanenti con canna, quindi potremmo venire obliterati. In ogni caso passo perche' se mi propone un altro elemento di lock che non countero la mia situazione gia' precaria diventa un disastro.

Pesco jace e lo casto facendo sol ring con il mana datomi da drain.
Non faccio mistico su rimbalzo perche' se lui carica canna, io tutoro il rimbalzo, ma nel mio upkeep rimango con uno o due mana a terra (in gioco ho 2 isole e sol ring) e non potro' mai castarlo.

Gioco fetch passo sperando non abbia qualche altra mestizia in mano.Ora il mio piano diventa fare mistico per rimbalzo in upkeep saccano poi il mana del mistico sulla sua Canna. Sperando sempre che il nostro amicone non abbia un altro elemento di lock. Se lo ha, a meno che non sia un cavo dovremmo poter riuscire a rimbalzare il board il turno (sempre se riusciamo a trovare un altro mana con jace).

It is now ZIO_PAPERONE's turn.
It is now the untap step.
ZIO_PAPERONE untaps his permanents.
It is now the upkeep step.
Ora dobbiamo decidere cosa fare. Sicuramente mistico dobbiamo tirarlo in upkeep, quando va in pila canna, perche' altrimenti siamo con del mana in meno.
Il serio problema è che dopo aver tirato mistico e saccato di canna ci ritroviamo 2 mana in gioco, di conseguenza o vediamo landa con jace, per riuscire a tirare rimbalzino sotto trinisfera oppure gg.
Sinceramente qui l'unica opzione era tentare, anche perche' se non tiriamo mistico, perdiamo 2 permanenti e il turno dopo rimaniamo a board vuoto a causa di canna.

Inutile dire che rimbalzando tutto il board, mi posso stabilizzare con il mana e contrastare le sue minacce. Di jace trovo pure una force che unita ad il drain mi danno gg in pochi turni.
Mi è dispiaciuto vincere perche' l'oppo ha sbagliato, se era un pro probabilmente avrei perso....
Vorrei sapere se condividete le scelte fatte, ma soprattutto se ce ne era una che mi avrebbe permesso di vincere senza la cappellata dell'oppo. Avreste giocato diversamente? Dove?
C'era un modo per vincere anche se l'oppo non sbagliava o era persa e basta?
Grazie in anticipo a chi rispondera'
Ciauz!
