Archenemy: Nicol Bolas (Oversoul) vs Gatewatch (Spidey, Melkor, rokapoke)

Oversoul

The Tentacled One
Hm, I'm not actually tapped out and manually redid all of the tapped/untapped indicators on my permanents when I updated the board, so I have no idea why I called my Obelisk tapped, but it doesn't matter anyway as I have no responses to that stuff.

play Submerged Boneyard, Doom Blade the Paladin. Assuming nothing saves it, I'll cast Bone Picker and end my turn.

Yeah, not the scheme, but the other ones are spells cast by a player (me). I mean, it's optional, so if Melkor would rather not elect to put counters on the Ancient... :p

The Tentacled One
Melkor, feel free to take the counters back off if you'd prefer not to have them added. It is optional, after all... :p
 

Melkor

Well-known member
I'll choose to add the counters, but thanks for giving me the option.

Combat

rokapoke attacks with Aerial Responder

Second Main Phase

rokapoke casts Youthful Knight (Ancient gets counter)

Melkor plays a Forest (puts counter on Knight with Retreat), and plays Rampaging Baloths (Ancient gets counter)

With my amazing power to always, always, always topdeck schemes at the wrong time, this should be over pretty quickly. Attack with those Horror tokens because I have to. Blocks/responses?
