Focus some of the energy of the multiverse into a blue/red direct damage deck in my possession.

"We'll see. Tell me about this place."

"I had a lot of fun designing part of this place. Alara, the Shattered Plane... or it was before the Conflux. Now it is whole again, and the five Shards are interacting. The five shards are Bant, a despicable place filled with order; Esper, an interesting city amidst floating clouds where artifice reigns; Grixis, a rather relaxing realm of death and demons that runs with the red and blue mana you desire, as well as gorgeous black; Naya, a jungle that puts the great South American ones back on Old Earth to shame and the resting place of mighty Progenitus; and lastly my lovely Jund, a volcanic wasteland filled with all manner of deadly, venomous creatures... and dragons. It's essentially a volcanically active Australia. Maybe I can mess around in Jund and Naya, get you another mount. My back aches."

Pharika: Claim victory by concession. Warp to Alara.

"Icytea, you're gonna like this place..."

"How about you play another game, this time with, say, maximum 4 legendary cards per deck, and no 'free mana right from the bat' cards like Black Lotus or the Moxen? Also without manipulating luck with your GM/Deity powers to get just the right draws every time."

Pharika!Lolfail: "Are you suggesting..."
Pharika!Cyrydiad: "...a fourth wall break?

((I will use my actual deck for this one.))

((Nah, mana burn hasn't been in since Alara. And yes, Titan is in Graveyard.))

Pharika: "Bah."

Play Forest. Cast Revoke Existence on Darksteel Titan/Colossus, exiling it. "Your creature has been removed from the game."

Actual action: Move myself to just the right spot in the deck that I can be played at the exact right moment when there is enough mana and the situation is right and the board is open. ((Technically, we could have made this a two-headed giant game, but I'm fine as a card.))

((Nah, it'd be an Archenemy game. Or a Face the Hydra game.))

((Que? I found this while lurking:

Quote

"Protection from everything" means the following:

Progenitus can't be blocked.
Progenitus can't be enchanted or equipped.
Progenitus can't be the target of spells or abilities.
All damage that would be dealt to Progenitus is prevented.

Progenitus can still be affected by effects that don't target it or deal damage to it (such as Wrath of God).

Is this invalid for some reason?))

((Hmm... I must have misread that. Let me check my rulebook...

Yes, you are indeed correct. Progenitus gets moved to my library and my library is shuffled.))

Pharika: "Well, this is awkward..."

Take entire second turn back. Draw.
Play Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx.

Procyon: Get a 3D scan of the geographical location of the site on my laptop.

Procyon: Take the mining operation job.
