The Valeyard

Two mechanics that live at opposite ends of the multiplayer spectrum, welded onto one 4/5 body. Villainous choices are punishing dilemmas a card forces on an opponent: lose this or lose that, and neither branch is comfortable. Making each opponent face that choice again means each opponent walks the same fork twice, compounding whatever the original spell already threatened; a single "sacrifice a creature or lose life" becomes two payments, and against a board that cannot afford both branches once, twice is often lethal. The voting half works the other direction, turning group decisions from a democracy into a rigged one: whenever a will-of-the-council or vote-based effect resolves, your extra ballot tips ties and quietly steers outcomes toward the option you want. What ties the two together is that both mechanics rely on other cards to supply the decision points; the design here is a force multiplier with nothing of its own to multiply until you build the engine around it. That places it in a narrow but real seat: a payoff for a deck constructed entirely out of the choice-and-vote mechanics that most decks touch once or twice by accident. The color identity earns its keep by opening the widest possible pool of villainous-choice removal and punisher effects across three colors. Left alone, it is a competent evasionless midrange creature; surrounded by the right triggers, it converts every dilemma you hand an opponent into two.
