- Attack with all. Your opponent essentially must double-block Dire Fleet Ravager and single-block Deadeye Brawler, otherwise several relatively-simple lines to victory open up, which we won't detail here.
- Angel of Condemnation cannot be blocked, therefore your opponent takes 3 and goes to 7. Three Aetherborn die, therefore three Midnight Entourage triggers go on the stack.
- Before those triggers resolve, cast Siren's Ruse targeting the Ravager. It returns to the battlefield immediately and the opponent loses a third of their life, rounded up. 1/3 of 7 is 2.333, rounded up to 3, so they drop to 4.
- Let the Entourage triggers resolve, taking your opponent down to 1.
- Activate Angel of Condemnation, targeting the Ravager again. At the end step, it returns to the battlefield once more to drain the final 1 life point for lethal.
