Liquidating the Dis Pater

The game has been running along quite smoothly and you were able to
score 2VPs. Now just two players are left at the table. Your opponent
(who has earned 1VP so far) is killing you with his Anarch Revolts. The
first thing you have done in your current untap phase (after untapping
all minions) is to look at the top two cards of your library with your
Thin-Blooded Seer. These two cards have restored some hope and a
diabolical
plan is slowly taking shape in your mind...

Well that certainly is a completely different set up from before.

The solution I sent you worked pretty well for the original setup. So
yeah next time can you get it right the first time <-- smiley face
so I'm not bagging you out.

Thanks for not being resentful.

I'll try my very best next time. Any volunteers to doublecheck a puzzle
(before posting) if I should post another one? I don't want to risk my
library cards having a funny look, too... ;-)

Sven
