Solution
Step 1: Watch as Talrand steals your Cudgel Troll with Mind Control and ends his turn.
Step 2: Draw a Plains, and play it.
Step 3: Equip Lightning Greaves to your Leatherback Baloth (You won't be able to equip the other equipment with this still attached because of the Shroud effect).
Step 4: Equip Ring of Kalonia to your Garruk's Packleader.
Step 5: Equip Lightning Greaves back on your Garruk's Packleader (this will prevent Talrand from using Pit Trap).
Step 6: Attack with Garruk's Packleader.
Step 7: After Talrand blocks your Garruk's Packleader with Cudgel Troll hit "Stop Timer" and cast Divine Verdict on his Cudgel Troll.
Step 8: Even though your Garruk's Packleader is considered blocked he has Trample (from the Ring of Kalonia) and will do 4 damage to Talrand, finishing him off.
