Wasteland Bayou, then Extirpate it in response to him cracking Misty Rainforest - it's the only way he can get a black source before his next turn to pay for the pact.
he should have underground seas in his deck.. i would keep the extirpate for when he tries to combo off
Yeah, Dan "got it" - he didn't have any Underground Seas and that was game. Happened on ggslive at Grand Prix Providence. I thought it was a pretty sweet play to notice by the Junk player. It's not like he knew it was a "you make the play" moment. In the chat there was a lot of "wait, what just happened?" :)
Incidentally the Pattern of Rebirth deck seems terrible, but they were playing it so badly on mtgo on ggslive that may have put me off it.
Someone pointed out in the chat that if the guy had fetched in response to the Wasteland activation he would have been fine and possibly/probably won. So there was a "you make the play" for the other player too that he missed, maybe I should have written that one up, that would have been hard!
You have no reason to make that play unless you *know* your opponent has Extirpate though, right?
