 The fact that the world has 13,000 nukes but anybody's only used 2 is... terrifying. |

This one is pretty abstract, so I'll explain. I believe the world will end for humanity not due to any grandiose event, but by machines eventually outcompeting humans in societies and economies that value productivity over all else. Eventually humans will have to give up what makes them 'human' to compete, or die. |

Grey Goo
CCC
Artifact
At the beginning of your upkeep, choose a permanent not named Grey Goo. It becomes a copy of Grey Goo.
T: Add C.
CC: Grey Goo becomes a 2/2 Horror artifact creature until end of turn.
The logical conclusion to the pursuit of ever-increasing productivity is productivity without utility.

Scorching Heat   Sorcery  This spell can't be countered Destroy all snow permanents. For each land destroyed this way, its controller may search their library for a basic land card and put it onto the battlefield tapped. Then each player who searched their library this way shuffles. |

The true threat to our continued survival is the one currently under our noses with no known way of responding to it.

Some right-wing nutjob's gonna do something drastic...
Dirty Bomb   Instant  Put X radiation counters on target land. Its controller loses two times X life. For as long as it has a radiation counter on it, it has shroud, indestructible, “This permanent can’t be sacrificed”, “Creatures you control get -1/-1 for each radiation counter on this permanent”, and “At the beginning of your upkeep, you lose life equal to the number of radiation counters on this permanent, then remove a radiation counter from it.” |

 Wastelands of NorLand  (Uncommon) Wastelands of Nor enters the battlefield tapped.  (2),  (T): Until end of turn, whenever target nonbasic land is tapped for mana, it produces  (C) instead of its normal type and amount. (T): Add (C). The wastelands of Nor were an ancient battle site, unable to heal even through time. |

The Virus Enchantment The Virus enters the battlefield with an infection counter. At the beginning of your end step, for each infection counter on a permanent, choose an artifact at random and a creature at random. Put an infection counter on each permanent for each time it was chosen this way and destroy it if the number of infection counters on it is greater than or equal to its mana value. So yea, this is the idea of a virus that is both a real virus and a computer virus. Just hope your commputer doesn't sneeze on you. |

Since the challenge says I don't really have to believe this is the way our world will end for real - let's take a look at how Hoshi no Samidare did it:

With the sort of stuff we're capable of, and that we're dealing with, there's a decent chance that the thing that destroys the world was intended to save it from something else.
Enchantment Whenever a player casts a spell for its mana cost, each player exiles the top card of their library, then plays that card without paying its mana cost. One thing leads to another, and . . .

Vunik: Were you trying for a metahumorous commentary on Wizards of the Coast itself? Because that's what it's coming off as. Your entry totally seems like something they'd put out, not even realizing that it's going to break all the formats immediately.

I also made it not really concerned with power level or broken-ness (which in itself could be considered a commentary). |

Really wanted to make this card, from an alternate reality where the Eldrazi won the Battle for Zendikar.

Explanation: There's a solid chance that people will outright ignore the coming end of the world when it happens, even while there was actually something can could be done to stop it. It might even be happening now. Like climate change? I actually think we will die from climate change, but this is more fun lol
YOu don't need that last part. When you lose the game, all your abilities cease to exist along with all your other stuff. |

It's not the end of the world per se, but I'm most scared of the advent of military robots in the near future that will allow empires to outmaneuver guerilla tactics and shift the balance of wars of attrition.  {Text} Pax Automata   Enchantment Whenever a creature attacks you, create a 1/1 colorless Thopter artifact creature token with flying. |
