How it works

  1. Activate Mindslaver by paying 4, tapping and sacrificing it, causing you to gain control of target player during their next turn.
  2. During the opponent's turn, cast Game of Chaos by paying R manaR manaR mana.
  3. Resolve Game of Chaos, choosing to continue flipping a coin until the opponent loses the flip and the amount of life wagered is greater than or equal to the opponent's life total.
  4. The opponent loses the game due to having 0 or less life.

This wicked setup lets you orchestrate your opponent's ultimate demise using their very own turn. Tidal Barracuda is the crucial enabler here, granting you flash so you can cast spells on any player's turn while safely locking your opponents out of casting spells during yours. Once you activate Mindslaver, you seize complete control of the targeted opponent during their upcoming turn, setting the stage for the finishing blow. With that control established, you cast Game of Chaos during their turn and deliberately run the coin-flip sequence up until the escalating life stakes completely drain their remaining life total, winning you the game on the spot.
