Game 2 (I won game 1). Opponent is on RG with infectious bloodlusts, *3* Gearcrafters and has an avaracious dragon. I won game 1 when I act of treasoned his massive flyer (that would have killed me).
Me: (tapped out)Swamp, Swamp, Mountain, Mountain, 2x Foundry of the Counsul (I almost manascrewed myself boarding in the 2nd one vs. thopter army) Unholy Hunger in hand - no mastery (1 sorcery in 'yard) Tapped Ramroller and Prickleboar, untapped Deadbridge Shaman and Boggart Brute
Main phase 1, opponent taps RRGG for Skyraker Giant (which is I guess just a massive misplay) Attacks with Thopter and Undercity Troll. I put him on exactly Might of the Masses
Blocks?
Spoiler
I blocked with Shaman, he has exactly Might of the Masses -- but targets his flyer. Shaman and Troll trade, I go to 4, he doesn't discard.
My turn I crack a foundry for the +2, swing for 9. He attacks back I double chump he conceeds?
OK - aside from the fact that opponent is a moron; do you block the obviously combat trick there? My thinking was that I was happy to trade shaman for a trick (and especially troll) but I kind of forgot it was his last card.
Obviously opponent should just keep block/regen boar with troll while cracking in for 3, trading off Giant for Ramroller. Although it's a pretty tight race with the Brute and being down 3 mana/turn, he's ahead (aside from my removal spell)
Actually why did I type this up, this is not an interesting situation.

He may well be bluffing Might. He probably has a land to pitch to your Shaman.
Anyway, he has four critters, so the troll grows to 6/6 if he has it. Double-block the troll. It's a two-for-two if he has it, a one-for-one if he hasn't, and his hand is empty.
Well, if Troll is renowned, it's another ball game. Then block with the Shaman only. In that case, you're in big trouble.
After reading the spoiler, yes, the opponent made a lot of mistakes there, the chief one being attacking with the Troll. Probably the right play for him is to do nothing, except for the thopter attack. Next turn, he has regeneration mana, he can try to kill the boar with Might, and so on.
No guys are renown, I am at 11 life (opp is at 14 which is in the header but buried).
Spoiler
His play of the Giant pre-combat does make sense if he has exactly Might AND is planning to use it on an unblocked guy
He can't be bluffing -- if he doesn't have might he has to hold up regen mana. The odds of me blocking are very high here. The double block seems wrong as well, because I still have to eventually beat him and Boggart Brute essentially races the thopter. I guess I have Unholy Hunger for the thopter, but then he gets a 2nd bloodlust.
