"Mulligan, you say? Let's take a look at these sorry excuses for cards. Three lands and four spells. Okay, that's almost acceptable. Verdant Catacombs for a Forest, Windswept Heath for another, and an Underground Mortuary for God knows what. Agatha's Soul Cauldron? Maybe later, you lazy lump. Malevolent Rumble and Young Wolf for turn one or two. Green Sun's Zenith later.
This hand has potential, you pathetic bunch of misfits. We've got lands, we've got early plays. It's not perfect, but it's not a garbage fire either. We're keeping this, you hear me? NO MULLIGAN! Get ready to actually *do* something!"

The game is asking me to decide whether to keep or mulligan my hand. I'll need to call get_action_choices to see my hand before making this decision.
thinkingLlama4 Timmy
My hand contains a mix of cards, including removal spells, a big creature (Archon of Cruelty), and another big creature (Abhorrent Oculus). I also have a land (Steam Vents).
Since I have a playable land and some good spells, I'll choose to keep my hand.

No, I'm done with these half-hearted attempts! I've played a Young Wolf, a 1/1 for a single green mana. We've got a creature on the board that can actually attack next turn! That's progress, you slackers! Until I draw something useful, I'm passing priority. No more dawdling. Onward!"

Malevolent Rumble: {1}{G}. A 2/2 that checks for a graveyard situation. We don't have much in the graveyard, and neither does the opponent. It's a body, but is it the *best* body?
Green Sun's Zenith: {X}{G}. Still too early. X=0 gets me nothing useful right now, and X=1 would fetch another Young Wolf, which isn't exactly game-breaking. We need bigger guns, not more puppies!
Agatha's Soul Cauldron: {2}. A two-mana artifact. This thing is a powerhouse later, but on turn 1, it doesn't immediately affect the board or give me card advantage. It needs things in graveyards to be good.
Dredger's Insight: {1}{G}. Draws two cards, then discards one. Card *selection*, not pure advantage. And it needs something in the graveyard to be good, which we don't have.
Alright, so we HAVE the mana for Malevolent Rumble and Dredger's
thinkingGem25F Sarge
"Alright, maggots, I've weighed the options. We've got two untapped lands, which means we can cast a two-mana spell.
Malevolent Rumble: A 2/2 for two mana isn't the worst. It's an imposing presence for turn one.
Green Sun's Zenith: Still not good at X=0. We're not fetching anything significant anyway.
Agatha's Soul Cauldron: Powerful, but we need things in exile or graveyards to get full value. Not yet.
Dredger's Insight: Card selection, but no graveyard action yet makes it less impactful.
Right now, getting another creature on the board is the most aggressive play. Attack and make them block or take damage! Malevolent Rumble, you're up, you brute! Get in there and show some teeth!"

Our choices are 'Walking Ballista' and 'Badgermole Cub'.
Let's evaluate:
* **Walking Ballista**: This is a powerful artifact creature, especially in a deck that can generate a lot of mana. It's a scalable threat and removal. This is absolutely a card we want in our hand, not in the graveyard!
* **Badgermole Cub**: A 2/2 for {1}{G}. As discussed before, it's an okay early-game body but nothing exciting. It's not a top-tier threat, but it's not completely worthless either.
Now, the message says "Select up to one an artifact, creature, or land card". This phrasing is a bit ambiguous. Usually, surveil lets you put *any* number of the revealed cards into the graveyard. "Select up to one" could mean "select up to one to put into the graveyard." If I don't select anything, they both stay on top. If I select one, that one goes to the graveyard, and the other stays on top.

"Alright, maggots, listen up! This 'Surveil 2' from 'Dredger's Insight' is critical! We've got 'Walking Ballista' and 'Badgermole Cub' staring back at us.
* **Walking Ballista**: This is a high-priority target for our hand! We absolutely do *not* want this in the graveyard right now unless we have an immediate plan to recur it, which we don't. It's a scalable threat and removal that can win games later. This card stays on top.
* **Badgermole Cub**: An adequate 2/2 for two mana. Not exciting, but not completely useless. However, compared to a Walking Ballista, it's certainly the lesser of the two.
The instruction says "Select up to one...". If I select an index, that card goes to the graveyard. If I choose `answer=false`, neither goes to the graveyard, and they both stay on top.
My current goal is to get powerful cards into my hand. Putting the Cub in the graveyard might let me draw the Ballista next turn, followed by whatever was under the Cub the turn after. If I leave both on top, I draw the Ballista next turn, then the Cub the turn after.
However, if I just 'pass' by choosing `answer=false`, both cards remain on top of my library in their current order. This means I draw

* **Targeting Timmy (Llama4 Timmy, index 1)**: Timmy is my opponent. If he has any powerful cards in his graveyard that he wants to reanimate or flashback, shuffling them back into his library denies him those resources. This is almost always

Now, for actual plays:
* **Spymaster's Vault — {B}, {T}: Target creature you control connives X,... [Activate] (index 1)**: This is a strong ability! Connive lets us draw a card and then discard a card. If we discard a nonland card, we put a +1/+1 counter on the creature.

2. **'Spymaster's Vault' - Activate (index 1)**: This is the best immediate play! For one black mana and tapping the 'Vault', I can target one of my creatures to connive. Connive allows me to draw a card, then discard a card. If I discard a non-land, the creature gets a +1/+1 counter. This provides card selection (digging for answers or threats), and it can make an existing creature bigger. I need to check which creatures I control to target.

Alright, maggots, LISTEN UP! This is a DISGRACE! I just checked the game state, and the 'Spymaster's Vault' is ALREADY TAPPED! This means the activation *already resolved*! And then the system presented me with the *same options* again, acting like we hadn't done anything yet! This is a colossal waste of my time and a major procedural ERROR!
The 'Spymaster's Vault' requires a target, and it appears the system *failed to prompt me for a target* despite my explicit instruction to activate it! This is unacceptable!
Since the activation has already passed the point of targeting (and presumably did nothing if there was no target prompt), and the system is back to asking me to play spells or abilities, I'm going to have to re-evaluate based on the current state.
My mana pool shows {B: 1} from that activation. My creatures on the field are 'Young Wolf', 'Eldrazi Spawn Token', 'Delighted Halfling', and 'Endurance'.
The current options are:
* **Agatha's Soul Cauldron {2} [Cast] (index 0) or Activate (index 3

"MAGGOTS! This is getting monotonous! Three times now, after repeated and unauthorized 'pass_priority' orders, the system has presented me with this same, limited set of choices, completely ignoring the fact that my 'Spymaster's Vault' activated without a target! This operation is a KNOT!
Now, let's cut to the chase and make a proper play.
1. **'Agatha's Soul Cauldron' (Cast/Activate)**: Absolutely not! We already have one on the field doing nothing, and casting another is a waste of a card and mana. Activating the existing, now tapped, useless cauldron is still utterly pointless.
2. **'Badgermole Cub' {1}{G} 2/2 [Creature] (index 1)**: This is our best play right now. We have 1 black mana floating, and 4 untapped lands. We can easily cast this.

I have made my stance abundantly clear on this glorified paperweight! It has NO place in our current strategic objectives! Casting it for {2} mana right now would be a complete waste of resources, and activating its ability is still entirely irrelevant to pressing the attack on Timmy! My 'Badgermole Cub' needs to get attacking next turn, and my 'Eldrazi Spawn Token' is waiting to be sacrificed for mana, not some graveyard shenanigans!

It seems that I'm being asked to discard two cards as part of the Faithless Looting effect. I have a list of cards to choose from.
I need to discard two cards. I'll choose Emperor of Bones and Psychic Frog.

In this GB deck, Windswept Heath can fetch a Forest for Young Wolf just as well, while saving Verdant Catacombs for later when a Swamp might be needed for black spells like Thoughtseize or Fatal Push.
Analysis
Action taken: Played Verdant Catacombs as the turn 1 land
Better line: Play Windswept Heath, crack it for a Forest, cast Young Wolf. Save Verdant Catacombs for when black mana might be needed.

Green Sun's Zenith for X=0 could search for Dryad Arbor (a common inclusion in Modern GSZ decks) to ramp, or at minimum shuffles itself back into the library for future use. However, even without Dryad Arbor in the deck, GSZ for X=0 fetches any green creature with mana value 0. Young Wolf is a key piece for the Agatha's Soul Cauldron combo (providing undying), so playing it directly is defensible. That said, if the deck runs Dryad Arbor, GSZ for X=0 would have been strictly better here as it ramps while preserving Young Wolf in hand for a later combo turn with Cauldron. The reasoning explicitly dismissed GSZ for X=0 without considering what it could find, suggesting a missed opportunity.
Analysis
Action taken: Cast Young Wolf for G
Better line: If Dryad Arbor is in the deck, cast Green Sun's Zenith for X=0 to find Dryad Arbor (ramping while keeping Young Wolf for combo). If no Dryad Arbor, Young Wolf is reasonable but sequencing considerations around when to deploy combo pieces still favor holding Young Wolf until closer to assembling Cauldron combo.

Gem25F Sarge passed the turn without using any of their available mana or abilities.
Gem25F Sarge passed the turn without using any of their available mana or abilities. They could have activated Windswept Heath to fetch a land (thinning their deck and enabling revolt for potential Fatal Push interactions, plus getting a Swamp or Forest), and then cast Malevolent Rumble or Dredger's Insight to fill the graveyard and develop their game plan. They had a Forest untapped and Windswept Heath available to sacrifice for another land, giving them 2 mana to work with for Malevolent Rumble, Dredger's Insight, or Agatha's Soul Cauldron. Instead they did nothing, wasting an entire turn's worth of mana.
Analysis
Action taken: Passed without taking any action, leaving Windswept Heath unactivated and all mana unused.
Better line: Activate Windswept Heath to fetch a Swamp or Forest (like Underground Mortuary or a basic), then cast Malevolent Rumble or Agatha's Soul Cauldron with the available 2 mana to develop the board and fill the graveyard.

Fetching a basic Forest instead of Overgrown Tomb means Sarge has no access to black mana this turn or next turn without playing Underground Mortuary (which enters tapped). The hand contains Agatha's Soul Cauldron (colorless, fine), Malevolent Rumble (1G, fine), Green Sun's Zenith (XG, fine), and Dredger's Insight (1G, fine) — but also Underground Mortuary which enters tapped. Getting Overgrown Tomb untapped (paying 2 life) would provide immediate black mana access for future turns, enabling cards like Emperor of Bones or Thoughtseize that might be drawn. With the graveyard already containing fetchlands (enabling revolt for Fatal Push if drawn), having black mana available is more flexible. The basic Forest provides no color fixing advantage over what's already available.
Analysis
Action taken: Fetched a basic Forest with Windswept Heath
Better line: Fetch Overgrown Tomb (paying 2 life to have it enter untapped) for black mana access, improving color flexibility for future draws and the Underground Mortuary already in hand could then be saved or played later for surveil value

Discarding Spell Pierce over Archon of Cruelty is a significant mistake.
Discarding Spell Pierce over Archon of Cruelty is a significant mistake. The player has Steam Vents as their only land - they're unlikely to cast an 8-mana Archon of Cruelty naturally. Meanwhile, Spell Pierce is a 1-mana counterspell that could protect against the opponent's key plays or disrupt their gameplan. The player does have cards that could potentially reanimate or cheat Archon into play (Emperor of Bones can exile cards from graveyards and reanimate them), but Archon in hand isn't useful for that - it would need to be in the graveyard. Spell Pierce is immediately castable and relevant against noncreature spells the opponent might play. If they need to discard to hand size (going to 7), Archon of Cruelty is the clear discard since it's an 8-drop with no realistic path to being cast.
Analysis
Action taken: Discarded Spell Pierce
Better line: Discard Archon of Cruelty, which is virtually uncastable from hand with only 1 land in play, while keeping Spell Pierce as cheap interaction.

Failed to crack Verdant Catacombs first to get a 4th land, which would have allowed casting both Agatha's Soul Cauldron (2 mana) and Dredger's Insight (1G) in the same turn. Dredger's Insight mills 4 cards which could immediately provide creature card targets for the Cauldron's exile ability.
Analysis
Action taken: Cast Agatha's Soul Cauldron for 2 mana without first cracking Verdant Catacombs, leaving only 1 untapped land after the Cauldron resolves.
Better line: Activate Verdant Catacombs to fetch a Forest/Swamp (4 lands total), then cast both Agatha's Soul Cauldron and Dredger's Insight this turn, maximizing mana efficiency and board development.

Fetched Overgrown Tomb instead of basic Swamp when already having two Forests for green mana.
Fetched Overgrown Tomb instead of basic Swamp when already having two Forests for green mana. The extra green from Overgrown Tomb is largely redundant, and paying 2 life to enter untapped (or having it enter tapped) is worse than a free untapped basic Swamp. With Underground Mortuary also in hand as another B/G source, the flexibility of Overgrown Tomb provides minimal value.
Analysis
Action taken: Fetched Overgrown Tomb (dual land requiring 2 life to enter untapped)
Better line: Fetch basic Swamp to get black mana without paying life, since green mana is already well-covered by two Forests

Player passed with available mana and a strong play available.
Player passed with available mana and a strong play available. Dredger's Insight could be cast using Overgrown Tomb ({G}) + sacrificing Eldrazi Spawn Token ({1}), which would mill 4 cards, potentially find a key piece, and fuel the graveyard strategy. The player's reasoning about Agatha's Soul Cauldron having no targets was also factually wrong (8 cards in their own graveyard), though none were creatures so the counter wouldn't trigger. Additionally, Underground Mortuary should have been played this turn since it enters tapped anyway.
Analysis
Action taken: Passed without taking any action, incorrectly believing there were no useful plays available.
Better line: Play Underground Mortuary (enters tapped, free to play now), then cast Dredger's Insight using Overgrown Tomb + Eldrazi Spawn sacrifice to mill 4 cards and potentially find a key card. Could also activate Cauldron to exile a graveyard card for marginal value.

The player is resolving Dredger's Insight's mill trigger, choosing which card to put into hand.
The player is resolving Dredger's Insight's mill trigger, choosing which card to put into hand. Walking Ballista is a key combo piece with Agatha's Soul Cauldron already on the battlefield - the Cauldron can exile creature cards from graveyards and grant their activated abilities to creatures with +1/+1 counters. Walking Ballista's 'Remove a +1/+1 counter: deal 1 damage' ability combined with Cauldron is a well-known infinite combo enabler. Even without the combo, Walking Ballista is a flexible card that scales with mana. Badgermole Cub, while decent for mana acceleration, is far less impactful. The player should have taken Walking Ballista to hand - either to cast it or to have it available for the Cauldron combo. With Agatha's Soul Cauldron already in play, having Walking Ballista in hand (to potentially cast and use, or to get into graveyard for Cauldron to exile) is significantly more valuable than Badgermole Cub.
Analysis
Action taken: Chose Badgermole Cub over Walking Ballista from the Dredger's Insight mill trigger.
Better line: Choose Walking Ballista to put into hand, as it synergizes powerfully with the Agatha's Soul Cauldron already on the battlefield and is a more flexible and impactful card overall.

Discarded Fatal Push, which is cheap, live removal that could interact with the opponent's Soul Cauldron combo pieces (Young Wolf with +1/+1 counter, Delighted Halfling). Archon of Cruelty is an 8-mana card with only 2 lands in play and no realistic way to cheat it into play (Unearth only hits MV ≤3). Archon's only purpose in this hand is as Psychic Frog discard fuel, but any card serves that role equally well.
Analysis
Action taken: Discarded Fatal Push
Better line: Discard Archon of Cruelty, which is effectively a dead card with only 2 lands and no way to cheat it out, while keeping Fatal Push as relevant interaction against the opponent's Soul Cauldron combo.

Casting Green Sun's Zenith for X=4 uses all available mana when Agatha's Soul Cauldron is on the battlefield with Walking Ballista in the graveyard. Activating Soul Cauldron to exile Walking Ballista (giving a creature with +1/+1 counters the Ballista's ping ability) plus casting Badgermole Cub from hand could develop the board and advance the combo plan more efficiently. Without knowing what 4-CMC green creature is being fetched, this may be suboptimal sequencing.
Analysis

Gem25F Sarge declined to activate Agatha's Soul Cauldron, which is a free tap ability that exiles a card from a graveyard (there are targets in both graveyards) and potentially puts a +1/+1 counter on a creature if a creature card is exiled. The opponent's graveyard has Fatal Push and Unearth (both non-creatures) and Spell Pierce (non-creature), but Sarge's own graveyard contains Walking Ballista (a creature card). Exiling Walking Ballista with Agatha's Soul Cauldron would put a +1/+1 counter on a creature Sarge controls, AND give all creatures with +1/+1 counters the activated abilities of Walking Ballista (including the 'remove a +1/+1 counter to deal 1 damage' ability). This is a significant value engine that was passed up for no reason. The Cauldron is already untapped and ready to use.
Analysis
Action taken: Passed priority without activating Agatha's Soul Cauldron, declining a pure-upside ability.
Better line: Activate Agatha's Soul Cauldron targeting Walking Ballista in own graveyard. This exiles it, puts a +1/+1 counter on a creature (like Young Wolf), and grants Walking Ballista's activated abilities to all creatures with +1/+1 counters. Then consider casting Badgermole Cub with remaining mana, and proceed to combat.

With only 2 lands on turn 5, Archon of Cruelty (8 mana) is essentially uncastable from hand. Discarding it would be better since it could potentially be reanimated via Emperor of Bones (exile from graveyard, then put onto battlefield). Thoughtseize at 1 mana is immediately castable and can disrupt the opponent's plans, which is critical when this far behind on board.
Analysis
Action taken: Discarded Thoughtseize
Better line: Discard Archon of Cruelty - it's uncastable from hand with 2 lands, and putting it in the graveyard actually enables Emperor of Bones reanimation. Thoughtseize is a cheap, impactful spell that could be cast next turn.

The reasoning dismisses activating Agatha's Soul Cauldron when Walking Ballista is in the graveyard.
The reasoning dismisses activating Agatha's Soul Cauldron when Walking Ballista is in the graveyard. Exiling Walking Ballista with Cauldron is a key combo piece in this archetype - it gives all creatures with +1/+1 counters the ability to remove counters to deal damage and pay 4 to add counters. With Young Wolf (which gets a +1/+1 counter from undying) this creates significant value. The Cauldron activation should be done before or alongside deploying Badgermole Cub.
Analysis
Action taken: Dismissed Agatha's Soul Cauldron activation as offering no immediate benefit, likely prioritizing Badgermole Cub cast instead
Better line: Activate Agatha's Soul Cauldron targeting Walking Ballista in graveyard, putting the +1/+1 counter on Young Wolf or another creature, then cast Badgermole Cub. This sets up the Ballista abilities on countered creatures for future turns.

Missed infinite damage combo.
Missed infinite damage combo. Agatha's Soul Cauldron can exile Walking Ballista from graveyard, putting a +1/+1 counter on Young Wolf. Young Wolf then has Walking Ballista's 'Remove a +1/+1 counter: deal 1 damage' ability. Remove the counter, Young Wolf becomes 1/1, ping for 1. Then remove another... actually Young Wolf dies as a 0/0 when counter is removed, undying triggers (no +1/+1 counters), returns with a +1/+1 counter, repeat for infinite damage = lethal.
Analysis

Better line: Activate Agatha's Soul Cauldron targeting Walking Ballista in graveyard, put the +1/+1 counter on Young Wolf. Then use the Walking Ballista 'remove counter to deal 1 damage' ability repeatedly with Young Wolf's undying for infinite damage, winning the game on the spot.

Activated Spymaster's Vault to connive X where X equals the number of creatures that died this turn, which is 0. This means the activation does absolutely nothing — draws 0 cards, discards 0 cards — while tapping the land and spending {B} for no benefit.
Analysis
Action taken: Activated Spymaster's Vault for connive 0, accomplishing nothing while spending mana.
Better line: Activate Agatha's Soul Cauldron to exile Walking Ballista from the graveyard, giving its activated abilities to creatures with +1/+1 counters (like Young Wolf after it dies and returns with undying).

Should have activated Agatha's Soul Cauldron first to exile Walking Ballista from the graveyard before casting Badgermole Cub. Exiling Ballista puts a +1/+1 counter on a creature (like Young Wolf) and grants it Walking Ballista's ping ability immediately. This costs no mana (just a tap) and doesn't prevent casting Badgermole Cub afterward with the remaining lands.
Analysis

Gem25F Sarge declined to activate Agatha's Soul Cauldron's tap ability, which would exile a card from a graveyard (such as Walking Ballista from their own graveyard) and put a +1/+1 counter on a creature they control. This is a pure-upside activated ability that costs nothing but a tap. Exiling Walking Ballista with Agatha's Soul Cauldron is particularly powerful because it gives all creatures with +1/+1 counters the ability to remove counters to deal damage — a key combo piece in the Agatha's Soul Cauldron deck. The player also declined to cast the second copy of Agatha's Soul Cauldron, which while legendary (so they can't have two), they could have at least activated the one on the battlefield. The reasoning given was nonsensical frustration rather than strategic thinking.
Analysis
Action taken: Passed priority without activating Agatha's Soul Cauldron or casting any spell.
Better line: Activate Agatha's Soul Cauldron targeting Walking Ballista in the graveyard, exile it, and put a +1/+1 counter on a creature (like Young Wolf or Delighted Halfling). This enables the Walking Ballista ping ability on that creature, which is the core combo of the deck.

minor blunder
Discarding Emperor of Bones to Faithless Looting is suboptimal.
Discarding Emperor of Bones to Faithless Looting is suboptimal. Emperor of Bones is a strong 2-mana creature that can be cast from hand with the available mana (Steam Vents + Island can't cast it since it costs {1}{B}, but Steam Vents produces U or R, not B). However, looking more carefully at the mana - Steam Vents produces U/R and Island produces U, so Emperor of Bones ({1}{B}) can't be cast yet anyway. But the player has Bloodstained Mire in hand which can fetch a Swamp to enable B mana. Archon of Cruelty is the best discard target since it costs 8 mana and is essentially uncastable - it's a reanimation target but there's no reanimation in hand. The second discard of Emperor of Bones over Archon is questionable since Emperor of Bones is a cheap, playable card that provides graveyard interaction (exiling cards from opponent's graveyard which is relevant against the Soul Cauldron deck), while Archon of Cruelty is extremely expensive and unlikely to be cast normally.
Analysis
Action taken: Discarded Emperor of Bones as first of two cards for Faithless Looting
Better line: Discard Archon of Cruelty and one of the duplicate cards (like the second Psychic Frog or second Emperor of Bones), keeping more castable threats. Archon of Cruelty at 8 mana is the clearest discard since it won't be cast any time soon.
moderate blunder
Discarding Psychic Frog is a significant mistake.
Discarding Psychic Frog is a significant mistake. Psychic Frog is a 2-mana creature that synergizes extremely well with the discard-heavy gameplan, can grow with +1/+1 counters by discarding cards, gains flying, and draws cards on combat damage. With only 2 lands in play (Steam Vents and Island), Llama4 Timmy needs cheap, impactful plays. Psychic Frog at UB is castable next turn with a Bloodstained Mire fetch. Meanwhile, Archon of Cruelty at 6BB is completely uncastable for many turns and could have been discarded instead - it's a reanimation target but there's no reanimation spell in hand or evident in the deck. Discarding Archon of Cruelty (as a potential future reanimation target that's dead in hand) alongside Emperor of Bones would have been better, keeping both Psychic Frogs as the primary game plan with 2 lands.
Analysis
Action taken: Discarded Psychic Frog as the second card to Faithless Looting (alongside Emperor of Bones)
Better line: Discard Archon of Cruelty instead of Psychic Frog. Archon costs 8 mana and is uncastable for many turns, while Psychic Frog is a key 2-mana threat that can be deployed immediately and synergizes with the discard gameplan.

Gem25F Sarge had the infinite combo available: Activate Agatha's Soul Cauldron to exile Walking Ballista from graveyard, putting a +1/+1 counter on Young Wolf. Young Wolf then gains Walking Ballista's 'remove a +1/+1 counter: deal 1 damage' ability. Removing the counter kills Young Wolf, undying returns it with a +1/+1 counter, and the loop repeats for infinite damage — killing the opponent at 10 life.
Analysis
Action taken: Appears to have dismissed activating Agatha's Soul Cauldron and likely cast Walking Ballista from hand instead, missing the infinite combo.
Better line: Activate Agatha's Soul Cauldron targeting Walking Ballista in graveyard, put +1/+1 counter on Young Wolf, then loop: remove counter from Young Wolf to deal 1 damage, Young Wolf dies and returns via undying with a +1/+1 counter. Repeat for lethal.

Gem25F Sarge declined to activate Agatha's Soul Cauldron to exile Walking Ballista from a graveyard (Llama4 Timmy's graveyard has no Walking Ballista, but their own graveyard has one). Exiling Walking Ballista with Agatha's Soul Cauldron is a key combo piece - it gives all creatures with +1/+1 counters the ability to remove counters to deal damage, and Walking Ballista's activated abilities. With Young Wolf (which has undying and can get +1/+1 counters) on the battlefield, this creates a powerful synergy. The Walking Ballista is on the stack resolving, but there's also one in Sarge's own graveyard that could be exiled with the Cauldron. Declining this activation wastes a critical combo opportunity.
Analysis
Action taken: Declined to activate Agatha's Soul Cauldron, passing priority while Walking Ballista was on the stack.
Better line: Activate Agatha's Soul Cauldron targeting Walking Ballista in the graveyard to exile it and put a +1/+1 counter on a creature (like Young Wolf), giving that creature Walking Ballista's activated abilities for a powerful damage engine.

Gem25F Sarge declined to activate Agatha's Soul Cauldron to exile Walking Ballista from the opponent's graveyard.
Gem25F Sarge declined to activate Agatha's Soul Cauldron to exile Walking Ballista from the opponent's graveyard. Walking Ballista is one of the most powerful cards to exile with Agatha's Soul Cauldron, as it gives all creatures with +1/+1 counters the ability to remove counters to deal 1 damage to any target. Young Wolf with undying gets a +1/+1 counter when it returns, and the Cauldron itself can put +1/+1 counters on creatures by exiling creature cards. Exiling Walking Ballista with the Cauldron would enable a powerful combo engine where any creature with a +1/+1 counter becomes a damage source. The player's reasoning was confused, claiming the activation wasn't relevant, but this is actually a key synergy in their deck.
Analysis
Action taken: Declined to activate Agatha's Soul Cauldron, passing priority and moving toward combat.
Better line: Activate Agatha's Soul Cauldron targeting Walking Ballista in the opponent's graveyard to exile it and put a +1/+1 counter on a creature (like Young Wolf). This enables the Walking Ballista activated ability on all creatures with +1/+1 counters, creating a powerful damage engine.
minor blunder
Fetched Watery Grave instead of basic Swamp when already having an Island for blue mana.
Fetched Watery Grave instead of basic Swamp when already having an Island for blue mana. At 9 life against an aggressive board, the 2 life payment for Watery Grave is unnecessary since a basic Swamp provides the needed black mana without any life cost while Island already covers blue.
Analysis
Action taken: Fetched Watery Grave (will cost 2 life to enter untapped or enter tapped)
Better line: Fetch basic Swamp - provides the needed black mana for Thoughtseize, Psychic Frog, Emperor of Bones, and Bitter Triumph without any life cost, since Island already provides blue mana.

Declined to activate Agatha's Soul Cauldron to exile Walking Ballista from their own graveyard.
Declined to activate Agatha's Soul Cauldron to exile Walking Ballista from their own graveyard. Exiling Walking Ballista with the Cauldron would grant its 'remove a +1/+1 counter: deal 1 damage' ability to all creatures with +1/+1 counters. This synergizes with Young Wolf's undying (returns with a +1/+1 counter), creating a recurring ping source. The player also incorrectly claimed they had no black mana for Spymaster's Vault when Underground Mortuary was available (though connive for 0 would have been useless).
Analysis
Action taken: Declined to activate either ability, passing priority with Walking Ballista on the stack.
Better line: Activate Agatha's Soul Cauldron targeting Walking Ballista in their own graveyard, putting a +1/+1 counter on Young Wolf or another creature, and granting the Ballista ping ability to creatures with counters.

Gem25F Sarge declined to activate Agatha's Soul Cauldron while there was a Walking Ballista in their graveyard.
Gem25F Sarge declined to activate Agatha's Soul Cauldron while there was a Walking Ballista in their graveyard. Exiling Walking Ballista with Soul Cauldron would put a +1/+1 counter on a creature and grant it Walking Ballista's activated abilities (including the ability to remove +1/+1 counters to deal damage). With the opponent at 4 life, this is extremely relevant - any creature with +1/+1 counters could gain the ability to shoot the opponent. The Walking Ballista was also on the stack (being cast by opponent via Bitter Triumph interaction), but the copy in Sarge's graveyard could have been exiled to set up the Ballista ability on creatures with counters. Additionally, Young Wolf with undying would be a perfect target since it comes back with a +1/+1 counter and would then have Ballista's ping ability.
Analysis
Action taken: Declined to activate Agatha's Soul Cauldron, passing priority and letting the stack resolve without interaction.
Better line: Activate Agatha's Soul Cauldron targeting Walking Ballista in the graveyard, putting a +1/+1 counter on a creature (ideally Young Wolf or another creature). This would grant that creature Walking Ballista's activated abilities, potentially enabling a kill on the opponent at 4 life through ping damage, especially combined with Young Wolf's undying mechanic.

Spent 4 mana to put a +1/+1 counter on a creature via Walking Ballista's ability when Agatha's Soul Cauldron's tap ability could exile a creature card from a graveyard (opponent has Emperor of Bones, Psychic Frog in graveyard) and put a +1/+1 counter on a creature for free. This wastes mana that could have been used for additional counters or other plays.
Analysis
Action taken: Activated Walking Ballista's {4}: Put a +1/+1 counter ability, spending 4 mana for one counter.
Better line: First activate Agatha's Soul Cauldron to exile a creature card from a graveyard (getting a free +1/+1 counter), then use remaining mana for the {4} Walking Ballista ability if possible, maximizing counters and thus damage potential toward the opponent at 4 life.
moderate blunder

With opponent at 4 life and all lands tapped, Sarge should first use Agatha's Soul Cauldron to exile a creature card from a graveyard to add another +1/+1 counter to their creature, maximizing Walking Ballista pings to 3 damage, then attack with Young Wolf for the 4th point of lethal damage. By removing a Ballista counter first, they reduce their total damage potential and may miss the exact lethal line.
Analysis
Action taken: Activated Walking Ballista's remove-counter ability first, reducing available counters before using Cauldron to potentially add more.
Better line: Activate Agatha's Soul Cauldron first to exile a creature card (e.g., Emperor of Bones or Psychic Frog from opponent's graveyard) and put a +1/+1 counter on the creature with Ballista abilities, then remove all 3 counters for 3 damage, then attack with Young Wolf for exactly 4 lethal damage.

Removing a +1/+1 counter from Walking Ballista to deal 1 damage to the opponent at 4 life is unnecessary when attacking with Young Wolf (1/1) + Badgermole Cub (2/2) + Walking Ballista (2/2) = 5 damage is already lethal. The counter removal wastes a resource for no benefit, though lethal is still achievable this turn.
Analysis
Action taken: Removed a +1/+1 counter from Walking Ballista to deal 1 damage to the opponent before combat.
Better line: Skip the Ballista activation and simply attack with Young Wolf, Badgermole Cub, and Walking Ballista for 5 total damage against an opponent at 4 life with no blockers and all lands tapped, preserving the extra counter.
major blunder
Opponent was at 4 life with no blockers and all lands tapped.
Opponent was at 4 life with no blockers and all lands tapped. After pinging with Walking Ballista to bring opponent to 3, Sarge skipped the attack phase entirely. Young Wolf (1/1) + Badgermole Cub (2/2) = 3 damage = exactly lethal. Alternatively, attacking with all creatures before pinging would have dealt 4+ damage for lethal without needing the Ballista activation.
Analysis
Action taken: Pinged opponent with Walking Ballista for 1 damage (opponent to 3 life) then skipped the attack phase.
Better line: Attack with Young Wolf and Badgermole Cub (and any other available attackers) for lethal damage. The opponent at 3 life with no blockers and no mana available cannot survive 3+ damage from attackers.

At 3 life, casting Thoughtseize costs 2 life (dropping to 1) and uses mana needed for Abhorrent Oculus. The player had exactly 6 cards in graveyard and {2}{U} available to cast a 5/5 flyer that would stabilize the board. After Thoughtseize, they can't cast Oculus this turn and are at 1 life facing multiple creatures.
Analysis
Action taken: Cast Thoughtseize, dropping to 1 life and using mana that could have cast Abhorrent Oculus
Better line: Cast Abhorrent Oculus (exiling all 6 graveyard cards) to get a 5/5 flyer, stabilizing the board at 3 life with a dominant threat and blocker

Used Walking Ballista's last counter to deal 1 damage pre-combat when combat damage alone was already lethal. Opponent is at 3 life with no blockers, and Sarge has Young Wolf (1/1) + Badgermole Cub (2/2) = 3 damage in attacks. The Ballista activation kills the Ballista unnecessarily.
Analysis
Action taken: Removed the last +1/+1 counter from Walking Ballista to deal 1 damage to Llama4 Timmy pre-combat, killing the Ballista.
Better line: Skip the Ballista activation and just attack with available creatures for lethal. Keep Walking Ballista alive as a 1/1 body in case something goes wrong, or save the counter for potential future use.
