Sorrow named this card Challenge # 141, but that was the Decopunk challenge. I just bumped the number up a notch.

As for the challenge:

My first thought was to make something like this:

Splatter
­{r/b}
Instant
Destroy target permanent.

But that's just taking advantage of a possible way the game could have evolved to make a kind of boring card. The tricky part behind this challenge is to make cards that are both terrible from a modern design point of view, but still look fun/interesting enough to play. I got a few ideas rattling around in my head, but I'm gonna sit on this for a day and mull it over first.

Alright, added Hungry Eyes to start us off.

Forgot to add Disemination. Also, just added Highlands Mauler.
