Absolutely, you all can join. And no, you don't need your own planar deck. I've got a 40 card central planar deck.

From Pyxis, the Horde mills Massacre Totem and Minotaur Goreseeker.

Massacre Totem
Artifact
At the beginning of the Horde's precombat main phase, reveal an additional card from the top of the Horde's library. The Horde casts that card.

Hero's Reward—When Massacre Totem is put into a graveyard from anywhere, put the top seven cards of the Horde's library into its graveyard.

Minotaur Goreseeker
Creature—Minotaur
Haste

Minotaur Goreseeker attacks each turn if able.

3/2

The Horde mills seven from Massacre Totem.

Of note, it mills Refreshing Elixir, which when put into a graveyard from anywhere, gives 5 life to each player.

42/6

Here comes the Horde...

The top five cards it reveals are Minotaur Goreseeker, Minotaur Younghorn, Altar of Mogis, Touch of the Horned God, and Unquenchable Fury.

Minotaur Younghorn
Creature—Minotaur
Haste

Minotaur Younghorn attacks each turn if able.

2/2

Altar of Mogis
Artifact
At the beginning of the Horde's precombat main phase, reveal an additional card from the top of the Horde's library. The Horde casts that card.

Hero's Reward—When Altar of Mogis is put into a graveyard from anywhere, the Horde sacrifices two Minotaurs.

Touch of the Horned God
Sorcery
Whenever a Minotaur attacks this turn, it gains deathtouch until end of turn.

Unquenchable Fury
Sorcery
Each Minotaur can't be blocked except by two or more creatures.

And now the Horde swings. I think it would be better for us if Goreseeker attacks you and Younghorn attacks me. What do you think? Also, keep in mind that because of Stensia, the Minotaurs will get +1/+1 counters once they connect.

il take whatever you want me to im playing lifegain

you typed one of them as a 42/6 is that a typo

Brawler_1337

Awesome. You take three and I'll take two.

40/6

Goreseeker and Younghorn get +1/+1 counters.

Minotaurs end.

UT UK draw.

Roll planar die. Get a blank. Play {Temple of the False God}, which is dead at the moment. I'd rather keep my mana open.

Pass. 40/6

You're actually at 42/3 because of the Elixir. We both gain 5 life from it.

The Horde mills another Goreseeker from Pyxis.

The Horde reveals 2 Goreseekers, 1 Younghorn, 2 Unquenchable Fury, and a Phoberos Reaver.

Phoberos Reaver
Creature—Minotaur
Haste

Phoberos Reaver attacks each turn if able.

2/3

I think I'll send the Younghorn with the +1/+1 counter and two Goreseekers at you (one with the +1/+1 counter), and the Phoberos Reaver, the third Goreseeker, and the other Younghorn at me. I'm thinking of casting a {Mercy Killing} on the Goreseeker with the +1/+1 counter to save you from a bit of damage. Do you think I should do that, or hold off? Unblocked, that's 10 damage your way and 7 mine.

AdamS

i have most of my combo set up so il just take it

Brawler_1337

K, then. You take 10 and I'll take 7.

33/6

UT, UK, draw.

Roll planar die, get a blank.

I've got nothing that can really help me out, but I do have a {Killing Wave}. The problem is, I don't know how it works with the horde. Does the Horde technically have infinite life, or does it have the choice to not pay for each creature? I'm thinking of cycling it so I might be able to get a land. What do you think?

im giving us back the cards from pyxis next turn because when i tutored the two cards i wanted where not in my deck

Brawler_1337

K. I'll cycle it for {0}. Didn't draw poop. I think I'll tap my {Murmuring Bosk} and {Overgrown Tomb} for {G}, and tap my {Plains} to cast {Eternal Witness}, getting back {Killing Wave}. Cycle {Killing Wave} again for {0}. Not what I need, but at least I have a blocker.

Pass. 33/7.
