The Tentacled One
UUD...
Rokapoke, your creatures cannot attack me or other me.
Melkor, I'll be taking my Thragtusk back (-2 loyalty to Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker).
Spidey, I do not distinguish between servants and victims. I cast Slave of Bolas on Torchling.
Assuming that all of that goes off without a hitch, I'll activate Torchling's ability to force Relief Captain to block it, then I'll attack Melkor with the Horror that has to attack him, Spidey with the Horror that has to attack him, and Rokapoke with the Horror that has to attack him and with Spidey's Torchling (which Relief Captain will presumably block).
Responses?

Question about schemes: Do they just come every turn? Or does one have to be abandoned before another comes up? The reason I ask is that we didn't cause the previous scheme to be abandoned so is that one still in effect *and* this one or just the old one (Bow to My Command)?
