There may actually be one other way to beat this puzzle, but it's still awfully similar. Think you can find it? Here is the official solution:
- Choose to start with Angrath, Minotaur Pirate on the battlefield, and Vraska, Scheming Gorgon in your deck.
- Cast Vraska's Scorn to take your opponent to 5. Tutor up Vraska if you like, but we won't be casting her.
- Cast Angrath's Fury, killing any creature other than your Khenra Eternal. The 3 damage takes your opponent to 2.
- Go to combat and attack with at Khenra Eternal. They must block to survive, and its Afflict trigger will take them to 1.
- Finally, finish them off with Angrath's +1. It will also kill a bunch of creatures, but none of that is relevant at this point anyways!
