I'd call it a good scheme, it ruins the opponents setup and leaves you a clear path for your creatures to damage him/her.

This will single-handedly turns players that could kill you one-on-one into dead players. Absolutely brutal.

This and Jace, The Mind Sculptor's ability together is the most surefire way to win.

My favorite scheme in the deck. A one sided planar cleansing. So harsh in late game 5/5

I'm not against the flavor of this card (love the doomsday machine), but it just doesn't perform that well in practice. It's not terrible, but unless you're playing with 3 or less opponents it's just a fireworks show.

I believe the flotation ring on this dark castle is working quite properly.

This is one of those few schemes you don't like to draw too early, but unless it's first turn you're still getting some free removal. The flavor text inspires me to sing the Doom song whenever I play it.

necromancer arch enemy- I will crush the world of mortals beneath the rotting flesh of the undead! Just as soon as I spend roughly a decade sifting through graveyards dodging the town guard hauling all these foul smelling corpses back to my lair... but it will be so worth it!

dragon lord arch enemy- Thinking is hard. Here, fight this dragon! Haha, Haha haha!

enraged gardener arch enemy- Get off my lawn! Giant man-eating plants! Spontaneous eruptions of land! I'm not entirely sure why I took up arching in the first place!

Artificer arch enemy- Tsk tsk. You call those schemes? let me tell you about a scheme. I'm going to put a GIANT LASER. On an IMPENETRABLE FORTRESS. That FLIES. Also I invented flying buildings. And the laser. I'm going to blow those so-called defenders of righteousness back to the stone age.

enraged gardener arch enemy- Well I invented an economically safe pesticide! It is even produced locally! With domestic products!

Artificer arch enemy- how are you allowed to work with us? How is pesticide remotely villainous?

eraged gardener arch enemy- THE PEST IS HUMANS


Clearly, there is only one real archenemy.

Clearly, the "Doom Citadel" bit edged out all other possible flavor texts during the R&D session.

Reports that "What the fu- BOOOOOOOOOOM!" came in second are unconfirmed.

@allmighty_abacus

You, sir, have graced us with the best comment in Gatherer history. Congratulations.

As cheesy as "Doom Citadel" is, I just love it as a throwback to mid-20th-century pulp science fiction. Puts me in mind of Nevinyrral's Disk.

*sets one into motion* I'd call that a successful first test.
*a few turns later*
*sets a second one into motion* I'd call that a successful second test.
And so on and so forth...

Does anyone else see the Imperial logo from Star Wars where the laser is coming out? The death star similarities continue....

@Smithney: I'd call it a good scheme just because it mentions a DOOM CITADEL.

I wouldn't really call "blow up ALL THE THINGS" a scheme. Usually schemes are more subtle than that.

"My scheme? My scheme is to stab you. With a knife."
