I will activate Mikokoro (4), use Orzhova against LJustus (6), activate Belbe's Portal to put Selesnya Guildmage into play. I will then use Guildmage to make a Saproling token.
I'm curious, as a spectator, what is the point in only activating the sneak attack once?
You only get five mana per card per turn. Since Abandon Hope cast the Sneak Attack this turn, he only had one more mana for that card available this turn. As such, he can only activate it once.
In response, I will tap Mikokoro to draw a card (4), I will then tap Belbe's Portal to put Elvish Skysweeper in play, I will then use Selesnya Guildmage's ability to make a saproling, and I will then tap Orzhova against LJustus (7). Abandon, I will help you out, should you attack another certain player (blue).
Well, now that I have a gun pointed at my Crosis, I have to ask permission to attack. So please please please can I attack Solitaire instead?
Wait... Screw that. I don't take orders, snivel, or ask permission. Swinging at White with Crosis, the Purger. I'll activate his ability and name white.
Sorry, I thought we were attacking enemies, at first... It kinda stunk for me when I realized, 'cause I would've went full bore at black... his position now really, really scares me...
So, you're not worried about the guy with Seedborn Muse and artifacts that put creatures into play. . . OR the guy with the active Sneak Attack, but my board position of Kokusho and Tetsuo Umezawa scares you?
Edit: Actually, I'd better get to this now. I plan to activate Sneak Attack for Bloodfire Colossus and sac it to clear the board (mostly). But I realized that will kill Kokoshou, and hence LJustus will kill two people at once. Can I do that? Are my actions limited due to a direct cause an effect relationship with another player? Or am I totally missing something?
Abandon Hope - As much as I would like for you to make that play, if it will kill more than one player, I don't think I can allow it. Would you like to make another play or pass the turn?
I was just figuring all of that out. It won't kill anyone but Alfred. The play stands. Each player (and creature) takes 6 from Bloodfire Colossus. This puts the life totals as follows:
Trigger resolves, Solitaire, Abandon Hope, and warehalldn each lose 5 life. Alfred will lose 5 life - putting him at (-4). LJustus gains 20 life. [Thanks haliann.] This puts the life totals at:
Really, I jsut wanted Undead Gladiator in my graveyard. Really.
Cards: (8)
Life: (19 from cycled Renewed Faith)
Untap, Upkeep, Draw (9):
Main Phase:
Play Blinkmoth Nexus. (8 cards)

That's all from me. Repsonses?

Untap, Upkeep, Draw (10)

Declare an attack phase. Responses?
You only get five mana per card per turn. Since Abandon Hope cast the Sneak Attack this turn, he only had one more mana for that card available this turn. As such, he can only activate it once.
Edit: I am probably going to regret this, but no responses...
Wait... Screw that. I don't take orders, snivel, or ask permission. Swinging at White with Crosis, the Purger. I'll activate his ability and name white.
Then I'll kill a land! How embaressing
Sorry, I thought we were attacking enemies, at first... It kinda stunk for me when I realized, 'cause I would've went full bore at black... his position now really, really scares me...
Abandon Hope,
Is there a reason you didn't swing at me?
I don't like taking orders, and I was ordered to attack you. Ok, it was more of prod in your general direction, but still.
So, you're not worried about the guy with Seedborn Muse and artifacts that put creatures into play. . . OR the guy with the active Sneak Attack, but my board position of Kokusho and Tetsuo Umezawa scares you?
Sneak Attack and Seedborne Muse... Uhh... yeah... they are problems, too...
End turn. Discard Pyre Zombie.
Permanents: Maze of Ith, Library of Alexandria, Miren, the Moaning Well (tapped) Sneak Attack. Graveyard: Wheel of Fortune, Wreak Havoc, Macetail Hystrodon, Crosis, the Purger, Pyre Zombie.

I'll have something during you're upkeep Blue.

Solitaire: 16
Abandon Hope: 17
warehalldn: 31

Triggered ability from Kokusho on the stack.
Trigger resolves, Solitaire, Abandon Hope, and warehalldn each lose 5 life. Alfred will lose 5 life - putting him at (-4). LJustus gains 20 life. [Thanks haliann.] This puts the life totals at:
Solitaire: 11
Abandon Hope: 12
warehalldn: 26
LJustus: 28

Of course, there are opportunities to play abilities or effects. Anyone?
