I have Hostility, tap 7 Mountains for 6 damage, and that 6 damage is converted into 6 3/1 tokens with Haste. I attack with all of them toward my opponent's few cards with 5-ish Saprolings.
My opponent activates his card's ability, which allows his Saprolings to simultaneously block my attacks AND be devoured to super-power his card. My attacks are negated, despite being more than enough to wipe his cards out (and him, he had 4 Life), and his super-powered card destroys me next turn.
That doesn't make any logical sense. So cards can block and simultaneously be devoured? Magically? There exists a card that, whenever a card on its side of the field is destroyed, can simply be 'devoured'? Bullshit. That's dumb.
To be honest, it sounds like you rushed into it, without a backup plan. My experience with Magic is minimal, yet all the games I won had a fair bit of strategy into them. Namely, if I see an opportunity, I think of all the things he COULD do that would eliminate me, and decide if it's worth the risk.
Of course, that also requires knowing what most cards do.
