Duelist's Dilemma   Sorcery  Each player chooses a card in their hand and reveals it, then discards the rest. ~ deals damage to each player equal to the total converted mana cost of cards revealed this way. Spare a friend, or slay a foe?

This could also be black, but I think it's a lot more interesting in green.

While an interesting idea, it doesn't quite follow the idea of the challenge because it doesn't directly negatively affect your opponent more than it buffs your own creatures in a way that they might not want to block. |

emteedy I'd argue that most symmetrical effects would likely affect an opponent both positively and negatively. Wrath of God negatively affects your opponents by destroying their creatures, but positively affects them by destroying your own creatures as well. |

Yeah, this challenge naturally has a rather wide grey area as far as entries being legal and/or in its spirit. I think it's best to let the voters decide here?
To be honest, I might be kind of biased considering my card also gives a different spin to the challenge - my opponents get affected positively but the negativity comes in this being an unrestricted tutor (for potentially several cards even)?

Daij_Djan, I like the card, but wouldn't it be a problem if your opponents can simply claim they disliked the present after they get it. You could do something like "You may offer any number of opponents a present. For each opponent that did not decline their present..." to get around that.

@ bazzboda: Technically they obviously could do that. But let's face it: This is clearly not a card meant for competitive play anyway, so I think it's fine to rely on "gentlemen rules"  |

It's an older design, but it still checks out:
Endbringer Demon   Creature--Demon  Trample
When Endbringer Demon enters the battlefield, choose target player. That player gains 5 life and gets a deal counter.
When Endbringer Demon dies, each player with a deal counter loses 15 life, then remove all deal counters from all players. ----------------------------------------------------- “I’ve come to collect on our agreement.” 7/3 |

Foiled Ruin Sorcery  Destroy target land you don't control. Its controller creates a Gold token. (It’s an artifact with “Sacrifice this artifact: Add one mana of any color.”)"Well, I certainly had no intention of helping him start a mining business."
