Wording on this may be a little iffy. Original version cost {b}{b}{b}, could also probably be a rare.

So what's wrong with Diabolic Tutor that it needs two extra paints, life loss, and a lack of secrecy about the card's identity?

Yeah. If you want a mythic tutor, it should look like Conflux (or Eye of Ugin).

How does this look now ? The damage target player takes is an omen of what is to come.

The trouble now is that, basically, this will do 16 damage for {b}{b}{b} - I'll always run it alongside Draco.

trying to format this right as it is the hallmark card of the set - sharing name and all.

I don't think that's going to cut it. Now, maybe you could go for "Each player loses life" - that could well be printable at {b}{b} or {b}{b}{b}

Each player actually works really well for the card concept.

Still terrifyingly good in aggro black. Drop a Carnophage or any other 2/1 for 1 on turn 1, swing twice, then cast this turn 3 for Draco and game over. But you may be okay with that if this is the signature card for your set. Just be sure all colours have some early defence if you give black any early attackers.

It does have to watch for Red Burn players and white can prevent damage. but yeah, it is risky

thinking of making this {x}{b}{b} search for a card with CMC X.
