Reminder card. THE PILE: this deck contains one legendary artifact named The Pile, and the commander fetches it on entry. Cut N means "put N powder counters on The Pile". Powder counters are never removed from The Pile by anything, ever — not by you, not by an opponent, not by a cost. You spend The Pile by TAPPING it, either for its mana ability or as the additional cost printed on four spells, and it untaps only in your untap step: one use per turn, mana or the big spell, never both.

EVERY OPPONENT CAN SEE IT. The Pile prints a table that pays your opponents, not you. Five or more powder counters: their creatures get +1/+0. Ten or more: their spells aimed at you or your permanents cost less. Fifteen or more: each of them draws an extra card every turn. Twenty or more: their creatures have menace and lifelink. The richer you get, the better the table plays against you, and nothing in this deck ever brings the number back down.

TAKEOVER: gain control of target land an opponent controls. It becomes a Swamp in addition to its other types and it is yours for the rest of the game — this is not a temporary theft and there is no duration on it. A land you control that an opponent owns is a TAKEN LAND. Ten cards read that count. At five taken lands, The World Is Yours untaps all your lands at your end step, draws you three cards and gives your board +3/+3, trample and haste.

“Two hundred and fifty kilos on the desk and four deeds in the drawer, and both piles are visible from the street.”
