That's 19, the Companion untaps the Captain and the Captain creates a Soldier token.

Melkor taps the last Forest for G, uses Nissa's second ability to untap the four Forests, and taps all for Thragtusk

Oops, forgot to confirm that I am indeed dead. Good game. That was some epic teamwork, so I guess you guys deserved to win. I guess. Maybe.

Kicking myself for thinking it was like 2HG and that you could block for each other, but I don't think it mattered. I hit a land pocket and whiffed too many schemes, so I couldn't have caught up anyway.

The Gatewatch finally stops Nicol Bolas once and for all! What other challenges will they face? :p

Good game! I wish I managed to survive until the end but I guess it wasn't meant to be...
