At the expedition duel

    by: Ryan Author IconMail Icon
Frederica sat next to Rita, on the edge of her seat as she watched the battle play out before her. The ruleset being used was Commander, where every card in a deck aside from basic lands may only appear once in the deck and a single legendary creature would be placed in the command zone as a player's Commander. Both players were fighting hard, but the dragon player had lost over half his life total.

"It's not looking good for the Miirym player," Rita said, quietly, frowning again as both her and Frederica heard indistinct whispering "With Portal to Phyrexia on the field, every time he loses a dragon, the Atraxa player can bring it back as a Phyrexian under his control."

"Don't count the dragons out yet," Frederica said, as she looked around, trying to pinpoint the source of the whispering she definitely shouldn't be able to hear in the sounds of the arena, and the sounds coming from the incredibly lifelike illusions projected above the middle of the stadium.

Indeed, the dragon player was holding his own, using the copies of his dragons created by Miirym in order to block. Since token copies stopped existing when they hit the graveyard, he wasn't giving the Phyrexian player any dragons to steal. But Frederica couldn't ignore the feeling of unease that came when she looked at the smile on the Phyrexian player's face, as he allowed two more of the dragons to attack him, bringing his life total down to single digits.

Then, without warning, the whispers in her head became a scream with words Frederica could understand, and they spoke one word:
