Welcome back to Possibility Storm, the weekly MTG puzzle series, available exclusively through MTGCanada and PossibilityStorm.com.
We hope you enjoyed last week's puzzle. We've got another for you today, so scroll down and have at it!
Also, for those of you considering becoming a Patron, Possibility Storm will be giving away a booster box of Amonkhet to a randomly drawn Patron among all those who sign up by April 26. That's also the first day of our Amonkhet seasonal leaderboard, so you've got lots of incentive to sign up before then. Links for Patreon are below the puzzle.

- Play Savage Alliance, escalate once, trample to all, 1 damage to plants. Bearer to 4/3, create a clue.
- Uncaged Fury on Bearer. Bearer to 6/5 doublestrike, create a clue.
- Attack. Trample means it doesn't matter where they block, so let's assume they gang the Bearer.
- Bearer deals 6 first strike, three of which is blocked, create a clue. [6 - 3 = 3]
- Sacrifice all three clues to Ravenous Intruder to make it a 7/8
- Regular damage results, 6 from Bearer, 7 from Intruder. [+13 = 16]
