Mburn7 said: Yeah, when this event first came out the only way to do it was an infinite energy deck with the pre-nerf Gonti's Heart.We complained a lot, and then the devs said (not kidding) "well, we could do it sometimes so it's not unreasonably hard"Nowadays there are a lot of blitz decks that can do it semi-reliably, but it's still one of the hardest challenges in the game. Just keep grinding and you'll find something that works!

Defenestrator said: Thank you all for the responses and advice. I have to be honest though. The existence of these kind of decks, that can just loop almost endlessly, makes me want to cancel my membership and stop playing. That seems like poor game design to me.

I was thinking just today, as I was getting pummeled by an opponent’s turn one Razia, that expecting this game to play like paper Magic is ridiculous - you play this for the flavor, not for the mechanical identity. This is first and foremost a match-3 game, which should and does reward cascades in explosive fashion. I get that not everyone like that, but I feel their expectations are unreasonable given the initial premise. As for topic - I was using Immortal Sun and Impending Doom to best the Angel consistently by turn 5. They nerfed one of my 2 mana draw spells so I’ll have to find a new way - but I’m fairly certain you do not need to accomplish that specific objective to get all the rewards regardless. @bken1234 I am very curious how you line up a 1-hit kill without a loop of some sort. Ob Nix? Kaya?

Is that even possble? Is there some hydrogen bomb artifact i dont know about? I actually have a deck called the H-bomb that does about 5K damage in one blow, but not consistently in 7 rounds. Usually consistently in 12. There are several different strategies that consistently do this. Cycling is one, but who wants to do that? HUF-AotSS. I Jurassic Park it — Aj1 Goggles, HUF, Deploy, Dinos. I have a Teferi Deploy deck that can bang it out, too. Yes, it’s very doable, in tons of ways. Just keep trying. You’ll get there.
