M2, G1: At 15 minutes, I agree with the Inferno Titan play which drew out the Mana Leak. That Mana Leak was also the last card in his hand, if my sight has not betrayed me. He has no cards in hand, therefore he has no way to play anything. His board is two Restoration Angels, yours is a Ravager of the Fells, a 2/2 Wolf Token, a Metamorph in the shape of Restoration Angel, and a Birds of Paradise. Opponent has 7 life and you have 4.

Now question: If he has no cards in hand, why not lose the two life, sac the Angel, search for Conscripts, steal one of his Angels, and attack with everything (except the Bird since it was used for Pod)? You would have been attacking with a Ravager, an Angel, a Conscripts, and a Wolf–total attack being12 damage. Your distraught opponent has no cards in hand and his only choice was to block the Ravager, thus preventing a measly 4 life. Consequently killing your opponent by dealing 8 damage.

Why not do that? Or am I missing something? If I’m right, then you missed a kill right there. That kill would have made being at 2 life irrelevant.

Here is the link to the original Deck Tech with Raphael Levy, he makes this abundantly clear 43 seconds in. http://www.wizards.com/magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/eventcoverage/ptdka12/videodt7
