Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

You start with 20 life.
Each of these spells must be played on your turn.
Mox Ruby is free to play with a 0 casting cost. Tap that (turn it sideways) to add 1 mountain (red mana: ๐) to your mana pool. You don't remove it from the board.
You have 1 mana in your mana pool: ๐
Black Lotus is free to play with a 0 casting cost. You can turn it sideways, remove it from the board into your graveyard pile, and add 3 of any color to your mana pool. Choose green for forests: ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฒ
You now have 4 total mana: ๐ ๐ฒ ๐ฒ ๐ฒ
Channel costs ๐ฒ๐ฒ. Cast that, remove ๐ฒ ๐ฒ from the mana pool, and pay 19 of your 20 starting life, so that you gain 19 colorless mana (can be used for most spells). Place Channel into the graveyard pile.
Your mana pool will now have a total of 21 mana: ๐ ๐ฒ + 19 colorless
Fireball costs ๐ + any amount of mana you decide, up to how much you have available. So you then use your remaining ๐ฒ+ 19 to do 20 damage to your opponent.
You win with 1 life remaining.
It all makes sense when someone explains it but the minute I walk away my general impression of magic can be summed up by ProZD's cow videos.

This is the only answer.
This was the only comment that actually explained it. Thank you.
