Terrifying Strength
  Enchant Creature
Enchanted creature has +2/+1. When Terrifying Strength enters the battlefield, each opponent chooses an enchanted creature, and destroys it. I find that the process is entirely satisfactory; Fatality is hardly a drawback to one such as I.

Zephid's Embrace + Five-Dollar Wrench +2/+2, flying, shroud; destroy (enchanted, dammit) creature.
Hah; I hit a silly idea on the way to this card. "Enchanted creature has Intimidate and is colourless".
Anyway - card started off very silly "Yes! An overpowered +9/+9 enchantment with hexproof" that killed the creature when you put it on.
And then I realised; I could combine "Unholy Strength" and "Terror" to make a very nice little card. Throw it onto an opponents creature to make them kill it. Or throw it onto something that regenerates on your side of the table, and enjoy the power.
Flysepck is caused by the flavourtext; but I LIKE the flavourtext.
(Probably ought to drop the intimidate or raise the cost, thinking about it. This is too flexible/good. Intimidate is gone, though that does make this a lot less worth the both of using on your own stuff now.)
And now it's nto so flyspeck - but the name doesn't make sense. Gah!
And it appears strictly worse than Unholy Strength now.
Well, apart from being able to use it as a sorcery speed terror... Which means I really can't downcost it very far. Also, is it sufficient to say "A different enchanted creature" to stop them all choosing the same one, in multiplayer?
Hmm. So it's a bit like Phyrexian Boon. It'll only destroy the chosen creature if there aren't any other Auras out... though I guess if you're putting this in your deck, you can avoid putting any other beneficial Auras in your deck, so yeah, it's a sorcery speed Murder. I think that could still go a little cheaper, but okay, I guess 3 mana maybe isn't so bad.
Well, it's a little bit sneakier in multiplayer; and if they have beneficial auras it's not quite murder, since they can choose which one to kill. But I figured Fear+Unholy Strength was just too much.
