This Land Is Dead Land

Solution not available

Eugene T. Dudley vs. Daniel "Deadshot" McKay

You can't win.

If you have to say one nice thing about Eugene T. Dudley—and there aren't that many nice things to say—it's this: he's enthusiastic. As soon as Prophecy came out, he bought up every booster he could afford, and played with every single card he got. Unfortunately, that enthusiasm's coming back to haunt him now in his game against Daniel "Deadshot" McKay. Eugene's own Citadel Of Pain has brought him down to 1 life while Daniel sits untouched behind a buttload of artifact mana and red pingers. The Big Dud's goin' down hard on the next turn.

But Eugene doesn't want to end up killing himself. He can't be hurt by the Citadel if he doesn't have lands, right?

Help him destroy all of his own lands by the end of the turn. That way, at least, Deadshot will have to earn his victory—at least a little bit.

Keep in mind the following

Eugene is at 1 life. Since you're trying to save him, as unworthy as he is, make sure he survives the turn.
Eugene's graveyard is currently empty, and Daniel is tapped out. Not that he needs to do anything, mind you.
No, Eugene hasn't really used the power of the Adventurer's Guildhouse. Surprised? We aren't.
Don't worry about what's in your library or Deadshot's cards; Eugene sure isn't.
