Lily had been doing decent with her tapping deck. She had 15 life while Max had 12. While Max had lots of strong creatures on the field, Lily was able to stop some of the creatures before they could attack. Lily was using Tamiyo, Dungeon Geist, and had two other creatures on the field that would detain a creature for a turn. Lily didn't have much creatures herself to attack with, but with tapping Max's strong creatures and drawing cards using Tamiyo's second ability, she was able to keep getting cards that she would tap and block with when needed. 

Lily had a counterspell in her hand, which she could have saved, but instead of saving mana for it, she used the mana left to summon Roon of the Hidden Realms. It was a very nice card she could use to flicker her own creatures or Max's creatures in order to stop some damage from being dealt. While Max had been struggling on land a bit, she had 3 islands, 2 plains, and 2 forests. She had enough cards on the field to deal with anything Max could do. When she ended her turn, Max cast Dreadbore on Dungeon Geist, destroying the one card that had been permantantly tapping Vampire Nocturnus.

"Well fuck", Lily thought to herself. "Had I kept that mana open, I would have two of his creatures tapped. So stupid of me. Well at least Vampire Nighthawk is tapped due to Tamiyo's ability, but Vampire Nocturnus can attack and with on was revealed on her deck, looks bad for me."

"Well that was a bad play on my part," Lily said out loud. "Hopefully I can have enough life to survive this turn." THe other two creatures on the field had already done their ability and didn't have flying. Thus, Lily could block some of the creatures coming at her if they didn't have flying, but most the vampires on the field did have flying. This was going to hurt for Lily.
