Simple here play u must be ahead in life by at least 1 to do this now pay all but 1 of your life to pump wall of blood up lets say for the sake of this you're at 20 and opponent 19. Grab the reins on your 19/21 wall of blood and have it deal 19 damage to your opponent by sacrificing it. Good old combo can't believe i'm the one posting it.

It is due to the fact to everyone using Fling instead of grab the reins. Sorry!

Thanks, Spidey! I knew there was better black version that gave you the life back, but I couldn't remember the name and it did not show up in Gatherer (with the wording I was using in my search).
