My Crushing Masterstroke

Scheme


When you set this scheme in motion, gain control of all nonland permanents your opponents control until end of turn. Untap those permanents. They gain haste until end of turn. Each of them attacks its owner this turn if able.

    Each of those permanents attacks its owner if able, not necessarily the player you gained control of it from.
  • 2010-06-15
    Any of those permanents that are creatures at the time your declare attackers step begins must attack its owner if able. This includes permanents that became creatures after you gained control of them, such as an animated Chimeric Staff. Any of those permanents that aren't creatures at that time can't attack.

    If, during your declare attackers step, one of the creatures you gained control of this way is tapped or is affected by a spell or ability that says it can't attack, then it doesn't attack. If there's a cost associated with having that creature attack, you aren't forced to pay that cost, so it doesn't have to attack in that case either.

    If one of those creatures can't attack its owner that turn due to a spell or ability (such as Chronomantic Escape), you may have it attack another player, attack a planeswalker an opponent controls, or not attack at all. If there's a cost with having that creature attack its owner, you aren't forced to pay that cost, so you may have it attack another player, attack a planeswalker an opponent controls, or not attack at all.

    If there are multiple combat phases that turn, each of those permanents must attack its owner only in the first one in which it's able to.
