Life totals are now 9 and 1. Opponent’s actions: Oblivion Ring Mudbutton. Attack with both Juggs, Taking 4 damage from the blocking Mudbutton and Fanatic. Life totals are now 5 and 1. Drop the swamp, use the mage's ability to get opponent to 3 and to get hellbent. Ping your ring'ed torchrunner and get the win? Case 2:

Your actions: Thoughtseize opponent’s incinerate.

Since you didn't specify who's turn just ended I'm going with the tapped out person just finished. Case 3: When opponent declares end of turn, in response tap 2 mountains and the swamp to activate the mage ability and discard Thoughtseize and gain two life. Opponent: 7 Me: 5 Now it's my turn: Draw and play the swamp. Sac the Mogg Fanatic to do one damage to opponent to bring him down to 6. Cast Damnation to wipe all creatures from the board. This kills both Jugs and the torchrunners which sates their requirement and you do 6 damage to the opponent to bring him down to zero.
