The Top 8 of Pro Tour Battle for Zendikar kicks off with an epic match between first-time Pro Tour competitor Rickyk Chin (Green-White Megamorph) versus Ryoichi Tamada (Jeskai).
+Jeff Phillips i think he was a little confused by it and was thinking something like "how can i get punished by blocking here" so he just let it through figuring it was 0 damage anyway
So looking at this again if he would of swung with hangar back at the same time as the 9/9 trample life link he would of traded the mantis rider and had 4 2/2 flying blockers in exchange and most likely would of won after that.
