Round 2 game 1, you play sorin markov and target your opponent wiht the ability. If you kill the welkin tern, dont you just pretty much win?
Sorin now has 6 counters, tsunami makes it 2, your turn, 2 to tsunami, play torch slinger, kill tsunami. Sorin now has 4 counters and is virtually unstoppable.

Your play led to sorin dying straight away, seems bad. You also didnt get value of out the torch slinger like you could have by comboing with the sorin.

damnit, i assumed the first ability only targeted players. :( you're absolutely right.

i was living off the top and thought about how much better it would've been to kill the tern with the slinger first before dropping markov. never thought to actually read the card. :/

thanks for the comment.
