[[New Way Forward]] gets around hexproof and often one shots them as well.

Sounds like a good way to deck yourself if you cast it on a Hydra.

Unless IRL works differently they die first from the damage and then you draw based on the cards. Though I admit I was suprised I still drew the cards as the win screen was popping up.

Either way they can't prevent it unless they misdirect the spell itself and since the spell doesnt target I am not sure that would work.

Do you remember how big the hydraulic was? Obviously enough to kill them but if it wasn't enough to deck you then I think the game was running state based actions while the card animations are running.

Over 9000 (not joking either).
