Think you've got it? Check your answer against the solution below:

- Attack with Tilonalli's Summoner and Goring Ceratops. Stack the two triggers so the Summoner's will resolve first.
- Pay X=4 (so five mana total, leaving Itlimoc, Cradle of the Sun and a Spirebluff Canal untapped) for the Summoner's ability and create four attacking 1/1s. Then the Ceratops ability resolves and everything gets double strike. Your opponent's best block lets two 1/1s through.
- First strike damage happens, your opponent takes 2 and drops to 10. Storm the Vault triggers and creates a treasure.
- Before moving to regular damage, tap Itlimoc to add six green mana. Use this, your treasure, and your remaining land to cast both Flame Lashes, targeting your opponent to deal 8 and drop them to 2.
- When regular damage resolves, you'll deal 2 more for lethal.
