[void_nothing]

Today's Challenge: Bounty counters

.::To Enter::.
In a single post:

• Name exactly two other players to vote for their entries for the previous challenge. (In the event that there are two or fewer entries that you are allowed to vote for, you may vote for only one.)

• Make a card that fits the current challenge.

• Include an "If I Win" (IIW) for tomorrow's challenge if you win.

Each day we use the challenge of the previous day's winner. In the case of a tie, we'll use the IIW of the tied player who has least overall points. In case of a further tie, the IIW of the earlier poster will be used.

Tree of Ruination
Creature - Plant Horror (MR)
Tree of Ruination costs less to cast, where X is the greatest difference in life totals between you and another player.
: Exchange life totals with target player.
A thousand wrathful souls died hanging from its branches. A thousand grasping limbs seek to add to the number.
13/13

Expression of Grandeur
Enchantment (M)
When you cast a spell, if you have cast spells with a total mana value of 15 or more this turn, you may copy that spell, then you may copy it again. If no spells are copied this way, draw a card.

Valgavoth, His Existence, Nothingness 13BB
Legendary Enchantment Creature - Demon (Mythic)
Impending 13 — B (If you cast this spell for its impending cost, it enters with 13 time counters and isn't a creature until the last is removed. At the beginning of your end step, remove a time counter from it.)
Flying
Whenever you remove a time counter from Valgavot, each player exiles a card from their hand. If they can't, they lose 2 life. They can't lose the game this way.
Whenever you cast Valgavoth or whenever you remove the last time counter from it, each player's life total becomes 1 and they exile their hand.
13/13

Close and Personal 1R
Sorcery (Common)
Target creature becomes the most wanted. Put a bounty counter on it. Then, up to one other target creature you control fights it. (Whenever the most wanted creature dies, the player who killed it draw cards equel to the amount of bounty that creature has. Only one creature at a time can be the most wanted.)
