Many of you, off the bat, nailed this one exactly correct. <\/p>\n<p>By putting the turtle in play and attacking with it Arthur receives a warning for a Game Rule Violation.

Since this was Nancy\u2019s turtle and she didn&#8217;t stop Arthur from attacking with the she will receive a Failure to Maintain Game State Warning. <\/p>\n<p>The fix is that we are going to rewind to the beginning of the combat step.
