Doomsday

Solution not available

Eugene T. Dudley vs. Buster "Buster" Jones

You can't win.

Eugene T. Dudley, the world's worst Magic player, has died just about every way possible. He's been smoked by direct-damage, run out of cards, Final Fortuned and even disqualified for Yoo-Hoo spillage. Squaring off against the aptly-named Buster "Buster" Jones, Eugene finds himself in danger of finding yet another humiliating way to lose. Eugene thought he saw the light when he cast Doomsday five turns ago, but it quickly turned into a dark shadow. Since then, Buster has wiped out all of Eugene's land, and our pathetic player's only source of mana are a few in-play effects… And unfortunately, he's in danger of getting killed by that mana. It's the beginning of Eugene's main phase, and he's now got 11 mana floating in his pool.

Find a way to spend the mana so that he doesn't die this turn. The fate of Eugene's badly battered pride rests squarely on your shoulders.

Keep in mind the following

It is the beginning of the main phase. Eugene is at one life and now, after his draw step, he has no cards in his library.
At the beginning of his main phase, Eugene activated his Carpet Of Flowers to put two black mana into his pool.
The Eladamri's Vineyard put two green mana into Eugene's pool, and the Ventifact Bottle dropped in seven colorless mana as well.
You must clear Eugene's mana pool so that he doesn't take any mana burn. You also must keep him alive in the process so that he can die one of the old-fashioned ways next turn.
Eugene is playing under the new Classic Edition rules.
The beads represent the mana in your pool.
