Evard's Spiked Tentacles + Into the Roil
Unsummon costing one extra; or 3 extra to also cantrip. And paralyse a crerature and also slowly kill it with -1 counters and also harm its controller and wow, this enchantment is a box of spanners.
Hmmm. Ok, maybe replace paralyse with unsummon? And make it a choice between killing it off and the damage?
Ok, I have the imagery of a mage trying to force a hippo back into their head. Let's do that. Pun for the name; fail to find art on a quick image search, and done.
Using * for bullets gives you italics instead. Because of course it does. Markdown fail.
I like the pun (and the card) :)
Who loses the life?
oops; add a somewhat important 'they'
The person doing the choosing; but lets make it explicit
So the person doing the choosing is going to put the creature into their hand as well? Even if it's mind controlled from an opponent?
Considering this is a modal spell the person doing the choosing does so as the spell is announced rather than during resolution, right? So the creature changing control between casting and resolving the spell needs to be considered as well.
Oh drat it. Yes; it should be owner, not controller.
Doh! Yes; should have been owner, not controller. The aim, as breifly described in the first comment; is that you zap an opponents creature with it. They then have to give up on it, or take the pain and unsummon it.
