Welcome back to Possibility Storm, the weekly MTG puzzle series available exclusively through MTGCanada and PossibilityStorm.com.
This week we have a bit of an Amonkhet-block throwback with this UB cycling themed puzzle. The best time registered by a PS competitor was Allen, who finished it in a snappy 4m 52s. Think you can do better?

- Attack with everything.
- If they block in any way that lets four or more damage through, you win by casting Flame Lash. Therefore there is only one other blocking scenario to consider, where only a Drake gets through for two damage.
- Go to your end step. Marauding Looter's Raid ability goes on the stack. Cast Fling, targeting the opponent, and sacrificing Marauding Looter to deal four damage, taking them to two.
- The Raid trigger resolves. Draw a card and discard any card from your hand, triggering Faith of the Devoted and paying the one mana to have it add up to lethal!
