As I was coding a few new cards, this puzzle sprang to mind.

Let's see :
1) Drop mountain.
2) Give Bonesplitter to Silver Knight
3) Give ProWhite to Silver Knight via Eight-and-Half Tails
4) Wipe board with Pyroclasm
5) Attack. The AI has only the Loxodon which is white, so you'll safely deal 4 damage.

The picture doesn't make it clear, but the sword is equipped to the Llanowar Elves, so the Pyroclasm won't kill it.

3) Cast pyroclasm
4) Use Eight-and-Half Tails second ability targetting pyroclasm before it resolves
5) Give Bonesplitter to Blood Knight

Other solution :

1) Use Eight-and-Half Tails second ability targetting sword of war and peace (and sword kill itself)
2) Drop mountain
3) Cast Searing Blaze targetting Troll Ascetic (deals 3 damage to opponent)
4) Use Eight-and-Half Tails second ability targetting Llanowar Elves
5) Use Eight-and-Half Tails second ability targetting Lotus Cobra
6) Attack with Blood Knight

Fun puzzle. :)

Troll has hexproff so #2 doesn't work

Exact, perhaps there is no other solution.
