"Midweek Magic September 2017 #30 - Death of the Creatureless"

Archenemy fascinates me. It seems to come up with interactions that are interesting , planned or otherwise. While the scheme cards favor certain decks and game play I have often found that certain schemes provide overpowered advantages that could lead to early concessions and outright victories.
One such interaction was when I happened to randomly draw the scheme card , "Dance , Pathetic Marionette". It forces players to to reveal cards from the top of his or her library until they reveal creatures cards. You choose which one of those revealed creatures and put it into play under your control. The rest of the revealed cards are put into those players graveyards.
Great scheme right? I mean you get a creature card and you mill everyone else. Consuming Aberration is happy if you have him in play.
This scheme also resulted in a player kill and that would be Ram who ran a mono white enchantment creatureless deck that milled itself out.That deck was hard to deal with as it spewed out Angels after gaining life.
This scheme made it look like a bad choice in decks.
There were no puppets to pull.Hence Death.
