The savegame lets you start here

You´ve just Vindicated the AIs Masticore and passed the turn.

Let me tell you that the AI won´t go easy on you in that one... don´t let that harmless state fool you !You´ve seen nothing yet.Trust me it is going to be hard.
Can you manage to win that one ?

Best i could get out of this one so far is a draw.

screenshot | Open: The next draws don´t help you at all, make sure you shuffle early.

Whooho i made it!

Win | Open: After a nifty battle where i literally had to force the AI to misplay to get rid of Masticore. After Elixir shuffled i got a Grave Titan that got rid of most of his stuff (had to play very carefully)- the second Grave Titan a few turns later sealed the deal.Was a really nasty fight.

Fun puzzle. I had a completely different solution that doesn't require shuffling.

No-Shuffle Solution | Open: Do not cast Raise the Alarm.
Play lands as you draw them.
Cunning Wish for Consume the Meek. Pass.
Use Coffers, and cast Consume + Vindicate. Pass.
Play Raise when able. When AI attacks with rockslide, triple block.
Play Glorious Anthem and beat face.

You are supposed to use the limited version for that one

I forgot to mention that.So there is no Cunning Wish, Scion of Oona etc.

I don't like the puzzle in the limited version; it's not in your hands then. Interesting that the constructed version still gives a nice puzzle. Can you find an alternate solution?

Yeah i know. Relying on "topdecking" to be able to win isn´t really a puzzle. I just felt like sharing this savegame since it is very tough to win this one.
Cunning Wish in the constructed version is indeed the "better" puzzle.

I took Extirpate and Removed his Masticore - after that there was just no threat left in the deck (AI got Ancestral Vision and Empty the Warrens instead of the much more dangerous Cyclops Gladiator).
The combination of Masticore Cyclops Gladiator Vulshok Sorcerer and Rockslide Elemental in the Limited version is just brutal against the token based deck.I really had to pull every dirty trick in my book to beat win that one.
