I am sure the guy had it in his mind that "if he kills my Arcbound Ravager, I will just move it to one of my Nexuses and get the damage." Yet he didnt have the foresight to think about what would happen if the opponent killed the Ravager on his next turn
Some examples: Swords to Plowshares, Teferis Protection, Chaos Warp, Great Train Heist (or other Spree cards, you pay extra costs but can go wild), Akromas Will, Deflecting Swat, Wear/Tear, and my personal favorite, Reprieve
Activate Words of Winds effect and then activate your grandeur ability
And so, I would argue also with the Initiative cards
We all love the card advantage of cycling, embalm is like giving your creatures flashback, the -1/-1 counters approach is an interesting take on this concept, and exert is interesting and challenging to decide when to use
