I blocked out the card he drew next turn when I took this image.
Does he have an out without drawing into something else?
If I were him I would want to start using my open mana to pick off Kithkin with the Vampiric Dragon. Growing it once makes it immune to Paragon of Amesha. Growing it 3x makes it able to bypass the spider. I can defend 2 of the tokens if I want (sac one and tap Razia for the other) but it doesn't really leave him room to swing unless he gets something bigger.
He played an 8 drop, got something crappy and scooped. My question was did he have an out?

Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.
I mean, he's not dead on board. You still have to go a couple of turns before he's actually stone dead.
The issue with spending your whole turn activating Vampiric Dragon three times is that you will get a single +1/+1 counter. It is sufficient to fend off an attack, but it also doesn't particularly advance your board state enough.
I think the right line is to activate the Dragon, targeting Paragon of the Amesha. If, at any point, you choose to activate Razia's ability, I'll just activate twice in response to kill it anyway. The tokens will go sooner or later, but killing Paragon will give me some breathing room (and I can trade with Razia now if necessary).
Also, since the land he drew wasn't a Mountain, you could theoretically make a two-drop and just shoot it yourself later on.
Realistically he should only be unblockable without equipment
Guard 1: There goes a sword floating down the street!
Guard 2: Well, he's unblockable, so ignore it.
Eat your greens kids, omnath does, and it makes him strong....
