See Challenge # 151.

Another manual card. I wanted something like arm-wrestling, but not a "winner gets X" because those are usually bad to play unless you're sure you'll win, and not a "only get something on winning" because I just made a card like that. I wanted something that scaled.

by Sorrow:

That's a pretty neat and super-green. I really dig it. I think it's also just really crazy that doing stuff like this gets us to use the word "victory" in the oracle text.

by Jack V:

Thank you

Ha! It is a good ability. Good enough to already see play: Side to Side. Side to Side also features one of the most forced cases of trying to tie the artwork to the mechanic.
