I messed up and I keep a hand thinking I had a green source to cast Birds of Paradise on Turn 1, but it was Gaea's Cradle (I blame the art work
![Sticking Out Tongue :P](./images/smilies/3-tongue-fb.png)
So I proceeded to do nothing for 3 turns.

It kind of worked out because Tevesh played an Orcish Bowmasters and would have pinged my 1/1 creatures anyway.
But this is my 4th turn and start with nothing on the board and the Tevesh had it all. I didn't draw any mana sources.
I steal the Orcish Bowmasters as I'm desperate to get traction with mana dorks and creatures for Gaea's Cradle. Unfortunately Tevesh has ward 3, so can't steal him. I've just got to rely on Yawgmoth, Thran Physician not getting creatures to sac to ping my creatures.

So my question "is it reasonable that from this position I should win the game?".
The trick is that I have an enabler in hand, the Umbral Mantle (the worst of the equipment) and 3x creatures on the board.
This is the start of my turn.

I play out the Nadu, Caterpillar, and the Umbral Mantle (okay the Gaea's Cradle finally did some work) and the answer is yes, you are easily going to win from here with 10x triggers on the board.
The Yawgmoth, Thran Physician tried to ping some stuff, but as they had to sacrifice Sheoldred, the Apocalypse or K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth, you can understand that they were not willing to at the start just to ping 1/1s with the Tevesh player being so strong.

Then finally what the turn looks like. Note I play through Sheoldred, the Apocalypse just fine as I'm not "drawing" cards and I'm not even giving Talion, the Kindly Lord any cards to disrupt me as I don't need to cast many spells in the winner turn.
The only card I cast after that is Chord of Calling for Scute Swarm.
