"Archsage Dmitri of Zero-Sum, at your service," the man informed them. "You haven't played Egyptian War until you've played with a table full of Acolytes."

"Oh. Gosh," Steven groaned, even at the thought. "Are you shuffling or not?" he added, looking expectant.

"Oh my." Jacob muttered, petting Thantos, his golem, with an absent mind.

The Archsage's hands blurred for a split-second. "Done." He laid down a queen.

Steven drew his mouth out to one side. Well, put off that impression. "Right." He slapped down a nine, five, jack.
Jacob.

((You can't lay down 9-5-J. First, Dmitri has all four Jacks, and second, a Queen only gives you two chances.))
Dmitri claimed the nine and five and dropped an ace.

The other seven went as follows:
K.
1-3-A.
Q.
8-K.
4-K.
Vlad was first amidst the skeletons to go for it.

Jacob went immediately after, sliding under the skeleton's hand to (hopefully) reach it first.

Wubbida-how did that knife get there?!
It wasn't actually in the cards, but Steven had brought down his knife directly between Jacob and Vlad's fingers and finger and thumb, respectively. All things considered, it was an impressive feat, but obviously it was not meant for showing off.
They got the impression this happened pretty often when Vlad grabbed the knife and bounced the dull end off of Steven's face. Jacob seemed to have won, unless...

((Personal relationships might be nice too.))
Agnese copied her designs on Takeshi's face. She probably wouldn't be able to do this once he turned into crazy-vamps puppy.
