As always, there is only one way to "beat" this puzzle, and it's all about choosing the right card(s). Give them too many and they have a lot of tools at their disposal. Give them too few and we bleed ourselves to death.
Let's look at scenarios:
- Cast Hunt the Weak targeting Kiln Fiend and Blood Baron of Vizkopa.
- Cast Emerge Unscathed on Kiln Fiend, choosing either White or Black.
- Hunt the Weak resolves making Kiln Fiend a 9/4 due to Corpsejack Menace and its own triggers, and Blood Baron dies with no lifelink gain due to Emerge Unscathed preventing the damage.
- Attack - opponent's best block lets 2 + 3 + 4 = 9 through for lethal!
