Welcome back to Name That Card! Sure, it's been a while since we've seen any schemes. But the names on these cards are damn awesome. If you need a refresher on the Scheme naming conventions, here they are on Gatherer.

Scheme! Yay!

Huh; a surprising number of schemes are named after themes; like the hero's journey steps. "Yeah, every story has 'refusing the call' and 'A Reckoning Approaches' and such." But the vast majority of them are as I remember; things the bond-villain (or flash-gordon-villain) maniacally cackles while standing above a rotating pit of spikes. Behold the Power of Destruction, This World Belongs to Me and such. Lots of them are "Verb, Insult". Oddly, you're not supposed to put all the exclamation marks on the end :)

Ok, right - let's see what this scheme is like. Huh. It takes a lot of things from your opponents (remembering that the Archenemy is always supposed to have multiple opponents) and mashes them together. So this is almost the inverse of For Each of You, a Gift.

"Behold my rotating pit of spikes" would be a perfect name for a scheme. Sadly, not this one.

Ok, I think we'll take this one on as a serious implementation of a fantasy trope. It's a classic for the villain to have the heroic party unwittingly bring them the final components they need. Annnd.. after trying out "Bring me" and "Surrender your" I hit upon the perfect and unintentionally punny "Join". And I can't give that up. So I settle upon Join with me. The resulting creature token is a Spirit.

(I love schemes. I want to play games of nothing but schemes now. I did also consider both longer "Your destiny is to join me" or "You will all join me" more explicit "Join for me" and even the minimal "Join me" but I think this is my preferred option.)

Looks like you win by default, Vitenka. Though, it is an excellent answer. Perhaps you scared away the competition. ;)

(((Name that Card #017))) will be here in a couple of days.

Yay, two best words etc. But also awwww; I wanted to see what other people came up with.

I missed this one but I agree Vitenka knocked it out of the park on the first try :)

Other possibilities:

"You and who's army?", Ooze "Help me fund my robot army", Construct "The friends you made along the way", Assassin "I'm not scared of you and your so-called friends", Shapeshifter "Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal", Dinosaur

I thought there was a good trope for "your friends were secretly in the employ of the dark lord" but I couldn't think of a good quip expressing it

For that latter; something like: "They were mine all along"?

Creature type dinosaur is somewhat distressing for it, though :)

In hindsight, I should have realized the dinosaur was a spy...

Curse your sudden but inevitable dinosaur!
