Um. "Each opponent chooses... they lose the game, or you win the game, or you win the game"
Kinda overpowered for a 6-mana card, no? Maybe at nine...
Hmm. Don't underestimate the power of choices, though. This fails to win under quite a wide range of circumstances. If they have no creatures or only minimal creatures, this does nothing at all; if they've not got much in graveyard (or can remove it in response), this is an expensive Divination; if they have an Electrickery or Urza's Armor or Meishin, the Mind Cage or Echoing Truth or Ghostly Prison, the insects won't do much. Any one of them would be a very powerful card (plausibly too powerful for 6 mana, although Howl of the Night Pack is often better than the last choice here); but letting the opponent choose gives you a lot of ways this can go wrong.
So I think I like it.
Yeah, people always overestimate how good these choice cards are. Which is partially the point. This was me kind of trying to push as much as I could. And yeah, this can get nuts in multiplayer, but it's usually easy to figure out which mode to go with.
