You start with 20 life.

Each of these spells must be played on your turn.

Mox Ruby is free to play with a 0 casting cost. Tap that (turn it sideways) to add 1 mountain (red mana: ๐ŸŒ„) to your mana pool. You don't remove it from the board.

You have 1 mana in your mana pool: ๐ŸŒ„

Black Lotus is free to play with a 0 casting cost. You can turn it sideways, remove it from the board into your graveyard pile, and add 3 of any color to your mana pool. Choose green for forests: ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒฒ

You now have 4 total mana: ๐ŸŒ„ ๐ŸŒฒ ๐ŸŒฒ ๐ŸŒฒ

Channel costs ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒฒ. Cast that, remove ๐ŸŒฒ ๐ŸŒฒ from the mana pool, and pay 19 of your 20 starting life, so that you gain 19 colorless mana (can be used for most spells). Place Channel into the graveyard pile.

Your mana pool will now have a total of 21 mana: ๐ŸŒ„ ๐ŸŒฒ + 19 colorless

Fireball costs ๐ŸŒ„ + any amount of mana you decide, up to how much you have available. So you then use your remaining ๐ŸŒฒ+ 19 to do 20 damage to your opponent.

You win with 1 life remaining.

This was the only comment that actually explained it. Thank you.

It all makes sense when someone explains it but the minute I walk away my general impression of magic can be summed up by ProZD's cow videos.
