Oversoul
The Tentacled One
Well, this sucks. Slave of Bolas was on top of my graveyard, but the deck sat there on my desk for so long that at some point (definitely before we ever started the Explorers of Ixalan game) it was knocked off and I can no longer find it. Not going to tear the place apart looking for it right now. I'll just have to remember that the physical deck is short one card and it's Slave of Bolas and its position in my graveyard is recorded on this board (assuming you guys ever get another turn anyway).
OK, I'll draw cards from Harvester of Souls for Bone Picker and Windrider Eel dying. UUD...
Go to 7 life, Melkor.
Island, Sudden Demise with X at 4, naming white. Responses?
