45. Russell attacks with an Elvish Archers and an Elvish Ranger (2G, Creature- Elf, 4/1). Michelle blocks both with a Wall of Glare. After the Elvish Archers' damage goes on the stack, Michelle targets her Wall of Glare with a Flaming Sword (to kill the Elvish Ranger). After the Flaming Sword resolves, how does combat proceed?

Elvish Archers (1G, Creature- Elf, 2/1)
First Strike

Flaming Sword (1R, Enchant Creature)
You may play Flaming Sword any time you could play an instant.
Enchanted creature gets +1/+0 and has first strike.

Wall of Glare (1W, Creature- Wall, 0/5)
Wall of Glare may block any number of creatures each combat.

a) The Wall of Glare takes two first strike damage. Then the Wall of Glare's first strike damage must be put on the stack. The damage from the Wall of Glare destroys the Elvish Ranger before regular combat damage, and the Wall of Glare survives.
b) The Wall of Glare takes two first strike damage. Then the Wall of Glare's first strike damage must be put on the stack. The damage from the Wall of Glare destroys the Elvish Ranger before regular combat damage. The Elvish Ranger's damage is then put on the stack, and the Wall of Glare is destroyed when that damage resolves.
c) The Wall of Glare's first strike damage is added to the stack. The Wall of Glare lethally damages the Elvish Ranger at the same time it is dealt two damage from the Elvish Archers. The Elvish Ranger damage is never put on the stack, and the Wall of Glare survives.
d) The Wall of Glare takes two first strike damage. The damage from the Wall of Glare and the Elvish Ranger is put on the stack at the same time and then resolved at the same time destroying both creatures.
e) The Wall of Glare takes two first strike damage. The combat phase has moved past putting first strike damage on the stack, so only the Elvish Ranger deals it's damage. The Wall of Glare is destroyed.
