So in a four-player free-for-all you just lose 18 life?

Shouldn't there be an upside?

The upside is that it only hits opponents. It's basically Torment of Hailfire fixed at X=2

Name's taken though: Grief

It doesn't hit opponents. It only makes opponents choose. Big difference.

I also notice that I missed that there is no text allowing an opponent to choose a mode already chosen - the modal template requires a lot of effort to be made to work like Torment of Hailfire. Which is why Torment of Hailfire doesn't use it.

So the intention is to hit opponents, how should that be worded?

I'm guessing something "Each opponent chooses two. A player may select the same modes as another player, but can't select the same mode twice themselves" would alleviate the issue of worrying about modes already chosen.

The name will be changed when the rest of the card is changed.

"For each opponent, that player chooses two -

• That player sacrifices a creature.

• That player discards a card.

• That player loses 3 life."
