  1. Cast Cartouche of Zeal on Alley Strangler. Use the Cartouche's "target creature can't block this turn" ability on one of the 5-toughness fliers.
  2. Cast Harmless Offering on Alley Strangler. The opponent gains control of Alley Strangler, and the Cartouche (now enchanting an illegal target) falls off due to state-based effects.
  3. Cast Fatal Push, targeting the other 5-toughness flier.
  4. Attack with Glorybringer and Goldnight Castigator, exerting Glorybringer to deal 4 damage to Drana's Emissary.
  5. The opponent can't block either 4-damage attacker, and you deal 8 for lethal.
