What’s the Play? RW Stormbreath Stoke

By Luis Scott-Vargas / June 18, 2015 October 11, 2019

Welcome back!

It’s once again time to figure out how to crush your opponent, or barring that, just make the best possible play given the information you have (which is a simplified version of what I strive for every time I play a game of Magic).

This scenario was sent in by Ian H., and came up during a game of Standard. He earned the $25 store credit at ChannelFireball this week—if you think you’ve got a play that can stump the readers, send it to [email protected]

The Scenario

It’s your main phase, and you are playing the following deck list:

Lands4 x Temple of Triumph 4 x Battlefield Forge 5 x Plains 11 x Mountain

Creatures4 x Akroan Hoplite 2 x Seeker of the Way 4 x Goblin Rabblemaster 2 x Ashcloud Phoenix 4 x Stormbreath Dragon

Noncreature Spells4 x Chained to the Rocks 2 x Raise the Alarm 4 x Hordeling Outburst 4 x Stoke the Flames 2 x Chandra, Pyromaster 4 x Lightning Strike
