Reanimator vs Merfolk, finals in a small local event.
This was a few years ago the last time Merfolk and Reanimator were both good, way before TNN or Griselbrand. I think Mystical Tutor was still legal. Game 2 post-board, he starts.
After Duressing his gravehate turn 1 and tutoring EOT turn 2, turn 3 I lay a 3rd land and Entomb for Blazing Archon. He has a very aggressive board. My only reanimation spell is Exhume. He's tapped out and has 2 cards in hand. If he has Force, I lose either way. If he has Daze, I should wait til next turn. I would survive 1 more attack unless he drops a 4th land and double Lord but I definitely wouldn't survive two more. Luckily, Merfolk had 0 ways to kill a resolved Archon (Dismember falls 1 short). (ASIDE: At this point I'm really glad I opted to run the singleton
Blazing Archon over
Stormtide Leviathan!)
For whatever reason, I decided that at that point it was trendy for players to board out Daze for business or hard counters in game 2 (as a mind-trick, to force the other player to play around it without suffering card disadvantage when they do), so I reasoned he could not have Daze. Instead of risking losing to an unprobable lucky double lord drop, I went for Exhume right away. He Dazes.
