Eugene T. Dudley vs. Crystal "Chimes Of Doom" Thompson

You can't win.

Eugene T. Dudley, the world's worst Magic player, is fond of the good old days. Sure, he used to get waxed by Channel/Fireballs and nailed with first-turn Mind Twists, but he also got to play with Wood Elementals and Squires when they were still tournament legal. Lost in reflection, Eugene has taken a severe beating from Crystal "Chimes Of Doom" Thompson. Down to only two life, Eugene's goal at this point is just to try to recreate some his favorite creatures of days past. Unfortunately, he doesn't know where to start.

Transform Eugene's creatures into classic favorites by changing their power and toughness and abilities.

Keep in mind the following

Essence Flare causes you to put a -0/-1 counter on the creature it enchants during your upkeep. The counter stays even if you get rid of the enchantment later.
We've given you a sneak-peek of things to come; Eugene is actually going to draw the Invigorate during his draw step. Right now it's the beginning of your turn.
Remember: Each transformed creature must have exactly the same power, toughness, color, special abilities and restrictions as the creature you're copying. Don't overlook things like the Sea Serpent's islandhome restriction.
Don't worry about transforming the Walking Sponge; he's just there to help out.
The creatures you're trying to recreate are Cockatrice, Juzam Djinn, Pirate Ship and White Knight.
