Near Death Challenges Mode - Advanced Challenges

In this challenge, you will start with 2 life on the eve of an attack by your opponent versus an opponent that has 15 health.. On the field, you will have the enchantment Near-Death Experience that allows you to win the game if you have exactly 1 health at the beginning of your upkeep.

Your opponent attacks with 5 different creatures. Ready for some math? The goal is to end this turn with 1 health, it's a sure loss if you don't. The Primordial Hydra that your opponent controls is a 10/10 creature that has trample because it has at least 10 counters on it. Also, your opponent just happens to have a 4/4/ elephant charging for you. 

• Use your strongest creature, Basandra Battle Seraph to block your opponents strongest attacking creature, Primordial Hydra.
• The Glory Seeker card with no enchantments should be used to block the 3/3 wolf token on the battlefield.
• Use the Glory Seeker with the Scourge of the Nobilis Enchantment on it to block the Fangren Fistborn creature with 5 attack.
• **After you select your defenders and continue to the next phase, make sure you stop time and use Basandra's ability (just once!) to increase her damage by 1.

 With lifelink damage being dealt twice, your life will even out at 1, winning you the game as soon as your turn is over. It's rare that your goal would be to arrive at 1health at the end of a turn, but this is a great way to learn to think more strategically and really do the math required to make the best possible move, turn after turn.
