So, Darkness was pretty bad, but this one really takes the cake. What the hell do I do with this?
Almost no one, least of all Wizards, likes tied games. The only person who enjoys ending a long, drawn-out slugfest in a draw is a troll. It's a nightmare for TOs because the card turns nearly any losing situation into a draw, while making winnable games go into "stupid long" territory.
In short, this card is the assbastard's Platinum Angel.
... which gives me an idea.
I could see it in black with a drawback -- an enters-the-battlefield trigger to set your life to 0, or a leaves-the-battlefield trigger to exile your library, for example -- and I could see something like it in red, justified by the color's bloody-mindedness. (Maybe something that made you tougher to target or damage when the opponent had the upper hand, like more creatures or life points.) Blue doesn't get a pass -- what, drawing, flying, flash and counters weren't enough? -- and green would probably just be happier with a bigger dude with trample. (Why durdle when you can just win?)
