Rita makes the first move

    by: Ryan Author IconMail Icon
Rita's Board: Lands: 2 Forests, 2 Mountains and a Plains
Field: Atla Palani, Nest Tender, Battlemage Bracers (equipped to Atla), Zacama, Primal Calamity and Ancient Copper Dragon
Life: 19, Poison Counters: 0

Rita plays a Mountain from her hand, then taps two of her mountains with Atla to create an egg, then a third to create another egg with Battlemage Bracers. Then she moves to combat, and swings in with her Ancient Copper Dragon. When it attacks, she makes 2 Treasure tokens. In her second main phase, wary of the Phyrexian poison, she casts Martyr's Cause by tapping her remaining land, giving a small safety net if things didn't go their way.

Hand after playing: Etali, Primal Storm, Mountain, Enlightened Tutor and Growing Ranks
Field: Atla Palani, Nest Tender, Battlemage Bracers (equipped to Atla, allows her to copy her ability for an extra point of mana), Zacama, Primal Calamity (can spend mana for a variety of effects) and Ancient Copper Dragon (damage trigger makes d20 treasures), Egg x 2, Martyr's Cause (Sacrifice a creature to prevent damage from one source)

The Phyrexian Thrall draws, then draws the first card from his Scheme deck. He smiles as he reveals Your Will Is Not Your Own, taking control of Atla Palani, and then tapping her for two mana to gain his own egg.

He then taps his remaining white and black mana to play Metatastic Angel. Atla Palani returns to Rita's control in the end phase.
Phyrexian Thrall's Life: 34

Frederica takes her turn.
Field: Zimone, All Questioning (weak, but makes Primo the Indivisable whenever the turn ends while she has a prime number of lands), Primo the Indivisable (8 +1/+1 counters), Ozolith, the Shattered Spire (can spend mana to tap and get a +1/+1 counter, and adds an additional +1/+1 counter when one is put on a creature) and Power Fist (equipped to Primo), Evolution Sage, 2 Forests and 2 Islands.
Hand: Quandrix Command, Thought Vessel, Herald of Secret Streams, Forest, Tireless Provisioner, Arixmethes Slumbering Isle


Frederica opens with tapping two forests and an island to play Tireless Provisioner. Then she plays her Forest for turn, triggering the Landfall triggers of both Tireless Provisioner and Evolution Sage, bringing Primo up to 10 +1/+1 Counters and gaining a Treasure token.

With three mana remaining, she sacrifices her treasure and taps her remaining two lands to play Herald of Secret Streams, which makes creatures she controls with +1/+1 counters on them unable to be blocked. She moves to combat, and swings Primo into the Phyrexian Thrall, dealing him ten points of damage. Since ten damage was dealt to a player, this triggers the Power Fist equipped to Primo, adding ten +1/+1 counters to him. Ozolith, the Shattered Spire adds an additional one, bringing Primo up to 21 +1/+1 counters.
Phyrexian Thrall's Life: 24
Hand after turn: Quandrix Command, Thought Vessel, Arixmethes Slumbering Isle

Field: Zimone, All Questioning (weak, but may make Primo the Indivisable whenever the turn ends while she has a prime number of lands), Primo the Indivisable (21 +1/+1 counters), Ozolith, the Shattered Spire (can spend mana to tap and get a +1/+1 counter, and adds an additional +1/+1 counter when one or more are put on a creature) and Power Fist (equipped to Primo), Evolution Sage, Tireless Provisioner, Herald of Secret Streams, 3 Forests and 2 Islands.
