- Cast Quarry Hauler. Target Kiora, Master of the Depths with its ETB ability, and tick her up to 8 counters.
- Use Kiora's -8 ability. When the three Octopi enter the battlefield, have two of them fight one Metalwork Colossus, and the third fight your own Festering Mummy. One Colossus dies, as does your Mummy.
- When Festering Mummy dies, use its trigger to put a -1/-1 counter on anything except either of your 2-power creatures. That counter triggers Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons' ability to create a 1/1 Snake with deathtouch.
- When the 1/1 Snake token enters the battlefield, Kiora's emblem is still active, so you can have it fight the remaining Colossus. Since it has deathtouch, Colossus down.
- With the way clear, swing to victory for 4 damage with Hapatra and Weaver of Currents!
