Today's Challenge: "Activate this ability only if a creature died this turn."

.::To Enter::.
In a single post:
  • Name exactly two other players to vote for their entries for the previous challenge. (In the event that there are two or fewer entries that you are allowed to vote for, you may vote for only one.)
  • Make a card that fits the current challenge.
  • Include an "If I Win" (IIW) for tomorrow's challenge if you win.
Each day we use the challenge of the previous day's winner. In the case of a tie, we'll use the IIW of the tied player who has least overall points. In case of a further tie, the IIW of the earlier poster will be used.

(I don't really understand the coin-flipping set part. First one that came to mind is Arabian Knights. But I know the Dark to Iceage story had them. As well as the Weatherlight saga. But based on cycle not a set?)

Pandemonium Sphere 6
Artifact (rare)
Indestructible
At the beginning of each player's upkeep they may pay 4. If they do tap Pandemonium Sphere.
As long as Pandemonium Sphere is untapped that player's noncreature spells cost 2 life more to cast and they skip their combat step unless that player during their precombat step casts a spell activates an ability that either causes a coin flip, die roll, or a target chosen at random.

IIW: Un Un an Uncard that is not realistic playable in a regular game. Post the name of the card you Un Unned. You may change the name of your card.

If you roll even and the flip is heads, the coin flip is treated as tails.
If you roll even and the flip is tails, destroy target permanent controlled by the player who flipped the coin.
If you roll odd and the flip is heads, you draw three cards and lose 3 life.
If you roll odd and the flip is tails, the coin flip is treated as heads.

I'm not 100% sure what the challenge means... I just know chaotic magic deserves some love.

"Why are numbers beautiful? It's like asking why is Beethoven's Ninth Symphony beautiful. If you don't see why, someone can't tell you. I know numbers are beautiful. If they aren't beautiful, nothing is."
― Paul Erdős

“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.”
