Created for Challenge # 030. Wow, it's hard finding DFC ideas that dude1818 hasn't already used in Mirroria. But I quite like this idea. Normally it would be up to the opponent to pay the 2 life, but under certain circumstances you might want to pay the life yourself.
There's potential for a few different takes on this: the creature in this case is very much a consolation prize, but if the spell and creature are both larger and scarier, the choice could be different and perhaps more interesting.
LOL. Yeah, interesting question.
I'd have to assume this is part of a cycle. Paying life in blue is rather rare... but other than that, I think this is a pretty cool mechanic.
