Fair enough.  I was hoping you might be able to kill Xantcha, Sleeper Agent for me... but never mind.

Matthew:

Oh you want to play 2-point tag? I can play 2-point tag. :p



Matthew:
Fair enough.  I was hoping you might be able to kill Xantcha, Sleeper Agent for me... but never mind.



Oh don't look at it like that, look at it like it is 5 extra commander damage you get to throw around, and some extra card draw! Everyone loves card draw, I'm told.


Alright, Grizzly's turn before all those shenanigans, I exiled Theatre of Horrors.

Zarrick's turn I take 7 and Matt's turn I take 2.

By the way Zarrick, did you take 1 from the Hissing Miasma when you attacked me?

TURN 6:

Untap:  Untap All

Upkeep:

Make 2 Mana.

Tap Dragonskull Summit to activate Xancha's ability and she feeds me some secret intel.

I draw 1 card. Matt takes 2.

Draw:  Draw 1

Main:

Combat:

Since Zerrick attacked me, I guess it's time for a retribution strike. Neheb the Eternal attacks him. (4 Damage)

ANY BLOCKERS?

Main:

End:

Re: Table B - Fatal Four-way Commander

Just to preface my turn, Platinum Emperion doesn't prevent damage from being dealt, so commander damage does still count and will still kill you even if you have it out. Making sure everyone knows this beforehand in case it comes up... ;)

Activate Samut's -1 to give Sisay +2/+1 and haste until end of turn

Activate Sarkhan's +1 to make all my Planeswalkers into (legendary) 4/4 dragon creatures with flying

Activate Ajani's -2 to give all my creatures +1/+1 counters and no loyalty counters to my now-creature Planeswalkers

Combat:

Attack MunchKing with Sisay (23/22 vigilance haste)

Yeah, but an 8/8 blocker was supposed to be big enough to slow people down.

quote:
Main:

Activate Nicol Bolas's +1 to draw a card and make everyone else exile a permanent or card from their hand


Exile Polluted Bonds from my hand.

Grizzly:
Combat:

Attack MunchKing with Sisay (23/22 vigilance haste)



Wait what? That's a lot of commander damage.

quote:
(A)  Sisay, Weatherlight Captain https://scryfall.com/card/mh1/...weatherlight-captain
     Legendary Creature - Human Soldier, 2/2 17/17, (2W) (5 +1/+1 counters)
     Sisay, Weatherlight Captain gets +1/+1 for each color among other legendary permanents you control. (5)
     {W}{U}{B}{R}{G}: Search your library for a legendary permanent card with mana value less than Sisay’s power, put that card onto the battlefield, then shuffle.
     Dethrone from Marchesa, Vigilance from Ajani


So +5 for colors, +5 counters, 2 base strength, + 7 for hero's podium Which by my math gives you a 19/19 base creature.

quote:
Activate Samut's -1 to give Sisay +2/+1 and haste until end of turn


That makes 21/20. Where did I miss an extra +2/+2?

Not that it REALLY matters. Anything over 13 would be be bad enough, and since she doesn't have the Trample, unless someone has a Aetherize or something, I'll have to block with Platinum Emperion.

Re: Table B - Fatal Four-way Commander

Grizzly:
Activate Sarkhan's +1 to make all my Planeswalkers into (legendary) 4/4 dragon creatures with flying

In response to this, I tap 1B to cast Terror https://scryfall.com/card/me4/99/terror
    Destroy target nonartifact, nonblack creature. It can't be regenerated.

I target Ajani, the Greathearted - now it is a creature.

This should mean 2 things.

1) Your creatures don't have vigilance.
2) Your planeswalkers and creatures don't get the extra counter(s) from Ajani

Obviously, you may want to rejig the rest of your turn.

Re: Table B - Fatal Four-way Commander

Technically you can't cast Terror once the activation is completed, because I regain priority since nothing else is on the stack after he becomes a creature. You can, however, cast it in response to Ajani activating his ability, while it's on the stack, although that won't stop the ability from happening. Do you still want to do that, at that point? They will definitely lose vigilance, though, which sucks a bunch.

Re: Table B - Fatal Four-way Commander

I see what you mean.  Sarkhan's ability has to resolve before I can target Ajani.  If I tried to do it before Sarkhan's ability resolved, then my Terror would fizzle as Ajani is not yet a creature.   And as you say, once it resolves, you get priority - so I would have to cast it in response to your next action - which is to activate Ajani.  Which sucks (for us :-), because it means all your planeswalkers get their extra counters, - and would therefore get the benefit provided by Marchesa of returning at the end of the round if they happen to die - which is exactly what I was hoping to avoid!  The losing vigilance was a minor bonus.

I have to say, I am impressed with your gameplay so far!   I suspect you have this game in the bag.

Ah well, I will continue to cast it - but effectively as you suggested, "in response" to Ajani activating his ability.   :-(

Re: Table B - Fatal Four-way Commander

Okay so Ajani dies after he activates his ability, then I'll go to combat. The only thing I'll change is Arvad won't attack instead.

And no, no Swords please. Although at this point I think it might be too late unless you're staring at a boardwipe.

Does my deck have a swords to plowshare?....well of course it does, it is a green-white deck...sadly though it is not in my hand though....however I have a so so response that might buy a round for me :).

Okay other stuff:

1. I discard Kemba, Kha Regent (https://scryfall.com/card/2xm/19/kemba-kha-regent) from my hand to exile.

I do this after the declare attackers phase and targets are chosen for each of the attacking creatures... (Marchesa is not attacking and thus can't be a target sorry Munch)

I tap Plains for W
I use W to cast Condemn (https://scryfall.com/card/cmr/369/condemn)
Being that the annoying Nicol Bolas is currently a creature he is the target of Condemn and goes to the bottom of your deck.
Since he didn't die he is not subject to Marchesa's ability :) as he did not go to the graveyard...

Here's an updated Combat breakdown after interactions:

Attack MunchKing with Sisay (21/20 haste)

Attack Matt with Sarkhan and Samut, Dethrone triggers, putting +1/+1 counters on them both (both 13/13 flying)

Everything that attacked is also likewise tapped now.
