So there you are, playing your Kresh the Bloodbraided deck without a care in the world, confident that a steady supply of +1/+1 counters would solve anything your opponent could throw at you.
As it turns out, you didn’t reckon on a couple of things. The first was Demet’s play of Spike Cannibal ― an innocuous 1/1 creature that stole all of your +1/+1 counters out from under your nose. The second was the fact that she played it with Death Match in play ― and its -3/-3 effect was enough to send your now-counterless Kresh back to the command zone.
Fortunately for you, you still had a good supply of creatures and lands. You figured that you could block the giant Spike Cannibal for quite a few turns, at least long enough for you to draw more mana and get Kresh back into the action. Then Demet played Epicenter for its threshold effect, and suddenly you were in trouble.
At least the last few turns were good to you: You drew three straight lands off the top of your deck. It wasn’t enough for you to recover, but it was better than Demet’s landless draws. Last turn, however, she drew and played her Bojuka Bog. cutting you off from a well-stocked graveyard on top of everything else.
Demet’s Spike Cannibal has been attacking you for the last few turns, unable to get through due to a few spare Breeding Pit tokens you had lying around. You’re now out of thrulls, though, and you’re frustrated enough at the Cannibal to want it taken down this turn. But the question is ― how do you kill an 18/18 creature?
