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:
- Tear up both Blacker Lotuses, add eight U mana bonuses.
- Cast Squirrel-Powered Scheme, to power up the team.
- Cast the Lobe Lobber to avoid the Brain Robber. Equip to Earl of Squirrel and get ready to whirl.
- Tap Earl of Squirrel to ping the opponent. Make infinite squirrels thanks to squirrelink and this rodent. (Though your opponent is still at infinite life - call a judge if that causes strife.)
- Activate Cogmentor to move Neural Network to sprocket three. Crank Clock of DOOOOOOOOOOOOM! for a triggering spree.
- Steal Chicken Egg because it's the smallest. Get rid of your opponent's library because Mill is the ballest.
- Cast More or Less to make the Lawyer confess. Zero toughness is the crime, so it's SBA-graveyard time.
- Augment the Robo-, attached to the Horse. Pass to EOT for more trigger remorse.
- Flicker your Chicken Egg, sending it home. Ineffable Blessing triggers like a Jayemdae Tome.
- Your opponent must draw, but they're all milled out. The dead lawyer can't save them, so you've just won, no doubt!
