I like it - but this is especially harsh, since they may already be hellbent. The other one they can at least always pay.

on 23 Aug 2019 by SecretInfiltrator:

I felt that discarding a card felt more natural as a parallel to sacrificing a permanent and worked well thematically, but I could change it to "pay 3 life". Yet that seems just by far not enough to justify the cost.

on 23 Aug 2019 by Vitenka:

Make the discard unconditional; and skip a turn only if they don't sacrifice?

on 23 Aug 2019 by SecretInfiltrator:

That has two issues

  • It violates the theme of choosing between the two tragedies and makes it more complex.
  • The two tragedies becomes imbalanced. I wanted to create two equally weighty options to choose between, but losing a trun vs. a permanent is just often too simple a choice. That's why I added discard in the first place.
on 23 Aug 2019 by Vitenka:

Mmm, both of those are true.

It's just that this card is actually:
Hellbent opponents skips their next turn.

Because you will hold it in hand until it is. (And strictly speaking, it's better than that because you can use it to force a discard, if you really need that.)
