So I was playing my Non-Devotion Aggro List (if you wanna see I'm not allowed to link it go to my profile), but I was playing against RDW and he casted Eidolon of the Great Revel after my Tidebinder Mage already snatched one of his guys up and I was curious as to whether or not it would give me enough value to cast my Hour of Need on it and give him a 4/4 Sphinx that I may have drawn removal for or take a ton of damage from his Eidolon as most of my deck cost 3 or less. Whats your guys take and tell me if you've had similar situations and how it worked out. I won the game anyways because I hit my Rapid Hybridization (Note: Mostly for Epoch, I don't know if this is the correct forum for this)
GoldGhost012 The sphinx will never be a big problem as all of my creatures fly, but it was a stalemate it was going to hurt me a lot to leave him out there. I was at 11 and he was at 16. We both had a whole bunch of creatures, but mine fly which was the advantage of mine.

So you don't need to cast spells and just attack. Unless you lacked the necessary number of creatures to chip away at his life total while blocking his creatures.

If you were going to win before Eidolon was going to kill you or if you had an easy way to kill the Sphinx, them I wouldn't bother. But if you were going to die if the Eidolon was left unchecked, then get rid of it unless the Sphinx was going to be an even better problem.
