Archenemy: Nicol Bolas (Oversoul) vs Gatewatch (Spidey, Melkor, rokapoke)

[Oversoul]

Spidey and I both expressed interest in trying this one out. We need two more people. Anyone else up for it?

 

[Melkor]

I'm in

 

[rokapoke]

What does this entail?

 

[Oversoul]

There's a deck for Nicol Bolas and a scheme deck for him. He's the Archenemy. There are also decks for Gideon, Chandra, and Nissa. They're the team. It plays pretty much the same way as Archenemy did before, except all of the decks are contained in one product this time.

 

[Mooseman]

I'll be the first substitute.

 

[Spiderman]

Huh? Does that mean you're playing as Gideon or you'll play if we get a third but someone drops out?

 

[rokapoke]

Well since Moosey just wants a sub spot, I'll take the 4th position (as I imagine he read it anyway).

 

[Spiderman]

All righty, who's who? Anyone have a preference for the Bad Guy?

 

[Oversoul]

Muahahaha!

 

[Melkor]

Sounds like we have a volunteer. I'll pick up Nissa

 

[rokapoke]

I'll take whatever Spiderman doesn't want.

 

[Spiderman]

I'll take Chandra.

 

[Oversoul]

Alright. I'll shuffle up my cards and schemes when I get home. Prepare to face your doom, Gatewatch!

 

[Oversoul]

Remember, this is a multiplayer game, so your first mulligan gives you back seven cards. I'll take one.

And then I'll set a scheme in motion!

Swamp, done.

[Spiderman]

Is the turn order of the Gatewatch pre-set/pre-determined by what you listed? Or are we supposed to roll or decide ourselves?

 

[Oversoul]

You all take your turn at the same time in this game mode. It's like two-headed giant, but with three people. Three-headed giant? You guys sound like some sort of abomination of science. I'm basically the good guy here...

 

[Spiderman]

Oh yeah, it's coming back to me... we confer via PM our moves and plan and then communicate it here on the thread...

 

[Spiderman]

I don't know who Machop is supposed to be but guessing from the other two colors, Gideon? But we're finally ready to take our first turn.

Everyone draws 7. Spidey mulligans and keeps. Everyone draws.

Melkor plays Woodland Stream
Spidey plays a Mountain
rokapoke plays a Plains and Gideon's Lawkeeper

Done

Swamp, done.

Yes, Machop is a fighting type, much like Gideon.

UUD, scheme time...

I discard Ior Ruin Expedition
