[UC] mYsTeRiOuS puts Ikoro from their hand into the conflict.
[UC] mYsTeRiOuS ends their turn.

As a first play from Myst, Steady Roots does not like Ikoro at all. Fortunately, my hand is pretty conducive to swinging aggressively overall, which is the typical M.O. of this deck.

Brave Hessus J can punch through both Ikoro and Engorica with no problems; the Mammoth Trumpeter draw set my plan for the next several turns, so I didn't mind discarding my own Engorica.

Ah, crap. Xiati would definitely have benefitted from me keeping the Engorica; drawing three from one summon would be good. Still, as long as he doesn't blow up my Brave Hessus, I can move as I planned either way. I also got to keep Steady Roots since Myst was nice about my minor screwup; accelerating further Earth plays will definitely be good.

The Artis Forte summon hurts, but thankfully if I chain Mammoth Trumpeters, they can still swing safely due to Morning Glory. He also still won't want to block Hessus, given that it currently ties with Engorica and thus can't be locked down either.

Dammit. Now Hessus is locked down, and I still can't attack with Steady Roots due to Ikoro. This unfortunately slows my short-term plan; three Mammoth Trumpeters, when boosted by Morning Glory, would still tie with Engorica under these conditions, but now his Steady Roots can pick them off if I swing, so I need to move carefully.

This is why I am glad Hessus survived; his presence means I get to play my Balamar next turn. With Avant Garde out, Balamar can't be counterattacked by his Steady Roots, and the Mammoth Stampede can whittle at him further from there. So long as he doesn't take down Morning Glory somehow, things are looking up.

Ah, crap. I wasn't expecting the Shinanigan. Now my Mammoth Trumpeters are quite impotent due to his two Artis Fortes. Hopefully Balamar can carry things from here, or I'll lose.

No Responcers is good. Since Avant Garde is still safe, hopefully Balamar will live to swing again on my subsequent turn.

Whew. For a second, I was worried that he would Exhaust Avant Garde and then take out Balamar, but thankfully he opted to go for Steady Roots instead; he probably misjudged Balamar's power as reduced by Artis. This has come right down to the wire, but now I can finally use the spell I've been saving the whole time...

Lunar Projection into Balamar is one of this deck's most consistent tactics. Thankfully, it looks like my earlier Grid attack with Hessus ended up saving me; nothing else could have swung for the win now. My only other way to get around this wall would have been careful use of Quickfire Sedatives, so I'm glad both Balamars managed to stick. Nice game, Myst.
