Christmas wall event

[Kaylesh]

Link & llama, are you ok with continuing with Taven on AFK?

With Ashiok joining you to assist in the mind battle, the entity seems taken aback. But is isn't long before the muttering continues.
"Your fate will thrice be sealed. Doom to who would bereft me of my power, my precious mana."

*Activate {words of waste} (tap swamp) on upkeep, proceed to draw phase. All discard a card, lose 2, and Waste not triggers.

[LinkCelestrial]

Discard {Aishok, Nightmare Weaver}.

10/4

[Kaylesh]

"I appreciate your contribution in the spirit of Christmas. The spirit of giving. I understand Santa has little elves helping him, I have one too."
{Liliana Vess} appears, hitting llama with a bolt of dark magic.

*Draw one, create one 2/2.
Activate scheme: Your fate is thrice sealed. (I reveal top 3 of library, lands go to the field, non-lands in hand)
Reveal: mountain, {Liliana vess}, {Swiftfoot boots}. Play {sunken ruin}.
Tap mt/Urborg/coffers for 6xB.
Cast {Liliana Vess}, +1

60/5
Lilli 6
One 2/2 zombie
Llama discards 1, loses 2, triggers waste.
Holding turn, depending on what llama discards.

(I know Lilli of the veil has the xmas alter, but I drew into Vess. Just imagine her in a Little Helper suit ok)

[Kaylesh]

Create a second 2/2, pass turn
60/5.
{leech ridden swamp} + {sunken ruins} untapped.

[Kaylesh]

Creatures are just the 2/2s

Hey guys, sorry for replying super super late. Can I still catch up? What turn are we on already?

[Kaylesh]

Hey guys, sorry for replying super super late. Can I still catch up? What turn are we on already?

Actually just at turn 4.
During my turn 3 I activated {words of waste} once, so if you discard one before taking t3 + t4, you're back on track.

Sure.

T3:
Island
{Sol Ring}
{Scroll Rack}
Pass
T4:
{Temple of the False God}
{Mind's Eye}
Pass

[Kaylesh]

{{TheRavensEye}}, what did you discard? For purposes of {Waste nothing}?

{Coral Atol}

[Kaylesh]

You guys ok if I take T4?
Link seems to be missing.

You feel a mental stinging, not totally unfamiliar, leeching some more of your strength away. Then the voice again, but trailing away from your mind to your ears, where sound should be.
"The time for games is over. We dawdled too long here. The days of Christmas have come upon us, and I must not waste more time here."
With that, a huge ancient dragon rips from the sky, right upon LinkCelestrial.
"Here is a display of my dark power!"
And indeed there is, as you all feel invigorated. Yet most invigorated is the vilest and eldest of living Elder Dragons. Nicol Bolas himself.
He sets himself upon the square, ready to take out yet another of you.


*On your eot I activate {leech ridden swamp}. You each lose one.

UUD
Take two from Mogis.

Scheme: a display of my dark power. Until next turn, when you tap a land it generates an additional mana of any type produced (for both me and you)

Play {bloodstained mire}
Tap swamp, cabal for 8xB.
Activate {sunken ruins} B -> UUU.
Tap mountain for RR
Use UB for {lightning greaves}.
Use UUBBRR + BB for {Nicol bolas}
BB floating. Tap Urborg + mire for 6B total. Cast {wound reflection}.
Attach greaves to Bolas.
Bolas turns @ LinkCelestrial, ripping him to shreds.
Liliana +1 @ TheRavensEye. Discard one, lose 2 life.

[LinkCelestrial]

I'm dead? D;

[Kaylesh]

I'm dead? D;

As is the thread, it would appear.

Yeah. Hasty shrouded Bolas is no laughing matter it seems, especially with caress on the board and cards in hand. (and {wound reflection} doesn't help either).

[Kaylesh]

I truly underestimated the power this deck/scheme set could have.
I've seen a few devastating one-ofs, such as discard 4 or allies discard 2 with {waste not} on the board vs 5 exploding. But getting a nasty combo like that in the opening phase of the game I hadn't seen yet.
