It’s the endgame of a long and arduous match, but you should be able to win this turn… the only question is, how?

Your Position (playing Past/Peace/Anarchy)

All heroes available to summon

Overeager Cadet (3/2)
Hardened Mox (2/1)
Nullcraft (1/1)
Calypso Vystari (3/2)

Base - 20; Tech 1 - 5; Tech 2 - 5; Spec: Peace
Flagstone Garrison - 4
Flagstone Garrison 2 - 4

Hand (5):

Discard (3):
Gunpoint Taxman
Gunpoint Taxman

Your opponent is playing Demon/Necro/Finesse, and has this board position:

Patrol:

Elite:
Scavenger: Skeleton Token (1/1)
Technician: L7 Garth (3/4)

Plus some cards in hand, but this one is a “win this turn” challenge.

In that case, here is what I got.

[details=Summary]Get 10 gold (10)
Play Zane (8)
Play Chaos Mirror, swapping Garth and Cadet’s power. Cadet becomes a 4/2 after Suits (6)
Calypso sidelines Voidblocker.
Cadet trades with Garth, Zane goes to level 3.
Nullcraft takes out River, Zane goes to level 5.
Pay 1 gold to max Zane, using his trigger to move the Scavenger Skeleton to Technician and taking it out. Draw Surprise Attack from Zane’s ability (5).
Play Surprise Attack. (0)
Mox takes out Lookout Skeleton.
Zane and sharks deal a lethal 10 to the base.[/details]

Edit: funny enough, @feathers and I have 1 difference that doesn’t change the outcome at all, but his leaves a better board behind.

Second attack was suppose to be Mox, must have made the mistake when I typed it out for my second post.
