Oracle Text

(An ongoing scheme remains face up until it's abandoned.)

As you set this scheme in motion, choose an opponent.

Creatures the chosen player controls can't attack you or planeswalkers you control.

At the beginning of your opponents' end step, they may tap any number of untapped creatures they control with total power 8 or greater. If they do, abandon this scheme.

To pay the cost of this scheme’s second ability, your opponents collectively need to tap creatures with total power 8 or greater. Those creatures may be controlled by different teammates.

If multiple abilities trigger at the beginning of your opponents’ end step, first their abilities are put onto the stack in any order, and then you put your abilities onto the stack in any order. Your abilities resolve before theirs do.
