How to play

Defeat a God Playmat

The challenge uses the regular Magic rules, with the following exceptions:

Player

• You start with up to three different Hero cards on the battlefield. (You don't need a Hero to play.)
• You attack Xenagos Ascended and the Revellers directly with your creatures. Any number of creatures can attack a single Reveler
• You may target Xenagos Ascended, as though it were a player.

Xenagos

• Xenagos Ascended and two cards named Rollicking Throng begin the game on the Battlefield. Shuffle the rest of Xenagos's deck to begin the game.
• At the beginning of Xenagos' main phase each turn, reveal the top two cards of the Xenagos's library. Then Xenagos casts those cards.
• Xenagos Ascended and reveler creatures don't attack unless the card specifically says they do.
• You make the choice if Xenagos needs to make a decision.
• Ignore effects that would cause Xenagos to draw or discard cards, or perform any other impossible actions.
• If one of Xenagos's pemanents would go to any zone other than his library or graveyard, that card is put into Xenagos' graveyard.
