Archenemy: Nicol Bolas (Oversoul) vs Gatewatch (Spidey, Melkor, rokapoke)
- Thread starter Spiderman
- Start date
You'd have to take over rokapoke's deck. Try contacting him via PM to see if it's ok - he may be able to hop on to reply to it. I don't think he'd have a problem with it though... if you don't get a reply in a couple days, I guess just take out the cards that you know have been played from the board state and shuffle the rest and you should be good to go 
Nope, no reply at all. If I'm going to do this I'll need a copy of the worksheet we use to handle the decks, as it's been awhile since the last computer I had it on was functional. PM me his hand now though, if you would, and any thoughts you have about this turn so we can start moving things along here...
Well, I think we finally have a turn...
