For Challenge # 082. Vitenka's right. I've yet to design a "Money or Candy" card for this challenge. I whipped this card up to rectify that.
Oddly, this card feels like a coin flip card that Spike wouldn't really complain about. Something about the 'Money or Candy' approach seems to negate a bit of the "You won via luck" argument.
I love the name, although it seems a stretch that roses deal two damage to the opponents :)
And yeah, this is a nice "stuck between vanilla and chocolate"; in a race, it doesn't matter which happens, and even in an aggro or control deck, the other half of the ability is mildly positive. In fact, maybe it's even too tame -- I think people might wonder why you bother with the coin flip, rather than just saying "everyone loses 1, you gain 1", although it would be very exciting near the end game when you want to know if you can drag the game out one more turn or not.
One way to make the coinflip more relevant: make it a 4/4 for 4 mana that deals or gains 4.
At that point it helps me realise it reminds me a bit of Sphinx Sovereign.
