Today's Challenge: References to players losing the game

.::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.

Bounty counters

Votes: netn10, shullz

Cornered Target
Creature - Human Noble (U)
Cornered Target enters the battlefield with a bounty counter on it.
When Cornered Target dies, if it had a bounty counter on it, each opponent draws a card and gains 2 life.

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.)

Palleria, the Second Chance
Legendary Creature - Angel (MR)
Flying, Flash
Whenever an opponent with zero redemption counters would lose the game, instead they shuffle their graveyard into their library, their life total becomes 10, and they gain a redemption counter. Draw a card.
Opponents with one or more redemption counters can't attack you or permanents you control and cannot target you or permanents you control with spells or abilities.
At the beginning of your upkeep, if all opponents have one or more redemption counters, you win the game.
4/4
