"And with that, I activate the tuner ability of my Rose, Warrior of Revenge; I sacrifice Elemental Hero Wildheart and Rose, Warrior of Revenge to summon the Colossal Fighter!"  The giant beast reared up, and was drained by the Black Garden.
  
  ((The above is my interpretation of Black Garden's effect; if I'm incorrect, don't hesitate to correct me.))
  
   "However, the attack of my giant grows for every Warrior type monster in my graveyard; I count four of 'em, so my Fighter is still strong at 1800. And I'm going to beef him up more with United We Stand, which raises his attack to a mighty 3400 attack power. I will then crush one of your Rose Tokens that are in attack position. You lose 2600 life points, and my Captain will eliminate one of the tokens left over from Dandylion.

   Okay, now this ends here! Firstly, I activate The World Tree, which will back me up when plants are destroyed. I then summon Nettles, who have their attack halved to 600. Next, I use Mark of the Rose, removing Dandylion from play to take control of your Colossal Fighter. His attack is boosted by 4000 by your United We Stand card, as I have 5 face-up monsters, making for a total of 5800. I then destroy your monster with my Rose Token for 100 damage, making Colossal Fighter's attack 5900. He will destroy your newly-made Rose Token for 5100 damage, increasing Gigantic Cephalotus's attack by 200. I then activate The World Tree's effect, expending a flower token to increase the Cephalotus's attack by 400. It and the Nettles attack directly, for the win, unless your facedown can do something about all this.  The elf breathes in and out, recovering from his long explanation of his turn.

  Good game, even if I'm not sure on whether United We Stand applies to the controller of the monster as opposed to the person who played the spell/trap. But it hardly matters, as I'm quite willing to accept this loss. Thanks for your time~
