• My opponent put two copies of Scowly Caper (AOA 313) in my battleline, one on each side of my Dextre (COTA 138). At the end of my turn, if I have no other creatures in my battle line, will I destroy one of the Scowly Capers and Dextre, or does Dextre get tagged for destruction by both Scowly Capers?
  Dextre and one of the Scowly Capers will be destroyed. When the first Scowly Caper you choose to resolve destroys Dextre, Dextre’s “Destroyed:” ability will immediately remove it from play, causing the Scowly Capers to become neighbors, and then the second Scowly Caper destroys the first.
