Chaos Mutation

Instant3 generic manaBlue manaRed mana

Most removal answers a question: this poses one. The trade is fixed in structure: exile a creature, and its controller digs to the top creature in their library and slams it onto the battlefield, face-up, no choice offered. You are not deleting a threat so much as rerolling it, and the die is loaded by library composition rather than by intent. The multiplayer clause is where the design turns pointed: it must hit creatures controlled by different players, so it cannot be piled onto one opponent's board. It is built to sweep across the table, converting a spread of committed creatures into a spread of random ones in a single resolution. For the caster that reads as sabotage against a stacked engine (turning a carefully assembled piece into whatever the top of the deck coughs up) or as a self-serving gamble, since exiling your own worst creature is likely to trade up. Randomization bites at both ends: the exiled creature is gone for good, and the replacement is dictated by whatever creature surfaces first. Instant speed lets it answer a lethal swing by rerolling the attacker mid-combat, though what lands could hit harder than what left. It is a group-chaos effect that punishes decks running fat, singular bombs (whose replacement is almost always a downgrade) and rewards the deck packed with interchangeable creatures, where any reroll lands somewhere useful.

Rules text

Exile any number of target creatures controlled by different players. For each creature exiled this way, its controller reveals cards from the top of their library until they reveal a creature card, puts that card onto the battlefield, then puts the rest on the bottom of their library in a random order.
