See, I played {Knowledge Pool} + {Rule of Law} + {Hive Mind} + {Pact of the Titan} (and other pacts)

I was able to take down five opponents out of nowhere with that one.   ;D
How does this work?

It's actually two parts: {Hive Mind} + one of the pacts.  You cast it, then everyone else puts a copy on the stack too.  Now, they have to pay the cost on their upkeep or lose.

The second part: {Knowledge Pool} + {Rule of Law} means that players can only cast one spell a turn and that one spell gets sucked into the pool.

So now, no one can resolve a spell, but when you play a pact, everyone gets a copy, yours gets removed, and everyone else's still resolves.

My Lockdown runs this ^^ Just hope your opponent is not playing graveborn or flashback XD (an {Ancient Grudge} breaks it no sweat)

Jester's or the Knowledge pool?
