Welcome, one and all, to the Grand Melee for Lady Basandra, Battle Seraph! Which of her erstwhile opponents will eliminate the others to win the honor of being destroyed by Lady Basandra in person? Only time will tell!

To begin with, we must protect the fair lady, so her noble knights do not attack her before they finish each other off. To accomplish this, we have constructed a Ghostly Prison, but if more help is necessary, we may require Michiko Konda, Truth Seeker, Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs, or Avacyn, Angel of Hope to step in. Also on our list of barricades: AEther Membrane, Wall of Omens, and Windborn Muse.

Then, with Basandra safe behind her defenses, we shall "encourage" her knights, although perhaps Aggravate would be a better word. Basandra herself is capable of being quite persuasive in getting them to joust for her honor, especially in conjunction with War's Toll. If that proves to be to much work for her, we have procured some Goblin Diplomats who are happy to help. We may also require the assistance of Warmonger Hellkite, the Avatar of Slaughter, and perhaps Basandra's friend Fumiko the Lowblood, to allow the Gratuitous Violence to begin.

If the knights prove to be somewhat less than overwhelming (and we are Always Watching for this eventuality), we are prepared to provide them with foot soldiers through an Alliance of Arms and Forbidden Orchard. If a knight forgets his armor (the quality of our knights has declined in recent years), we have an Assault Suit at the ready.

If, on the other hand, the joust begins to get a little too dangerous, we may need to step in with a Planar Cleansing, or call on the Wrath of God, or even commit a Blasphemous Act.

Finally, when all but one of the knights have been eliminated, Basandra herself will step in, along with her advisor Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, and reward her chosen knight with a swift end. If that is impossible, we know the common people will side with Basandra, so we can simply await an Insurrection.
