Forced Migration
1WW
Sorcery

Choose one:
* Each player who has the highest number of cards in hand discards a card. Each other player draws a card.
* Each player who controls the highest number of lands sacrifices a land. Each other player searches their library for a basic land card and put it onto the battlefield tapped.

Another take on White's Balance effect. Significantly more expensive, but player gets to choose where to tackle and can help allies.

EDIT 1: Name changed, but keep the theme alive.
EDIT 2: Effect changed to discard/sacrifice one card.

Nice flexibility and in a Commander release it's more justifiable color pie wise, although the discard in particular feels like at least a bend.

That name is... distasteful though. Oblique references to national tragedies are okay in my book but I'd cringe at a Magic card named directly after a historical atrocity.
Psst, check the second page of Custom Card Contests & Games! Because of the daily contests, a lot of games fall down to there.

Gonna echo this, although distasteful is a enormous understatement. The Trail of Tears was genocide via death march, and should be treated as such. You wouldn't print a card called Holocaust or Kristallnacht, and by the same token, you really can't keep the name as-is without trivializing the loss of life. I suggest you change it immediately.

I understand why people find it uncomfortable, but please know that I didn't name the card as a jest. As an immigrant I take any racial/cultural persecution very seriously, and often time find these historic tragedies under-discussed by the general public, even during events like BLM. I confess I might've named it thus because I want to throw a reminder at people, on what the politicians continuously neglect. Perhaps this isn't the best place to do so.

I will rename the card.
