LOLOL! Ridiculous. Seriously, wait until they find out that I have an insane amount of enchantment recursion too!

Liliana's Caress did not need to get more abuseable.

You're also forgetting that the blue and black Primordials work well with this card, as does, of course, Lazav himself.

This will be a Standard worthy card, at any level within that. 

Also, sexy as hell artwork!

This card is bad and I pity those who think it will see constructed play.

They need to phrase it that way.

"Any opponent may play this ability"  People will subconsciously tack "too" on the end and think they can sacrifice the Enchantment and discard two cards to draw two cards.

"Only an opponent may play this ability" People will subconsciously think that it's only the enchanted creature's controller that can play it, even if there are multiple opponents.

"Only any opponent may play this ability".  No ambiguity there, it just sounds a little weird because they have to be so specific.



"Only an opponent" would have been fine. There's an indefinite article, so it means 'one of your opponents'.

Or how about just:
"At any time, any opponent may discard two cards. If someone does, sacrifice Soul Ransom and draw two cards."




While I agree with you on the first comment, your second proposition violates the structure for activated abilities, which inherently changes the card and not merely the wording.

Am I the only one who had no trouble understanding this card?

Also, watch them try to take back their Tusk and instead you Resto it. Biggest game ever. 



Yeah, I don't see how this many people are having trouble understanding it. 
OP: This is the ultimate card that I need to test with before I know how good it is. It seems incredibly powerful, but the punisher mechanic is so bad.

In portuguese its translated to "only an opponent", so its the first time I prefer my native language version of a MTG card.


People calling this punishing mechanic, you do realize that if the opponent does take the punitive route, the card essentially reads "an opponent discards 2 cards and you draw 2 card" for 4 mana?

ok ok, this mught not be so bad in the current meta heavy on recursive spells, but still! And I reckon the exchange of control gives the opponents creature and extra summoning summoning sickness?

Though the shaman rarely got what she wanted, she was never disappointed in the result.

Caress, Megrim , Bloodchief Ascension ...

Hell, even The Rack if we want to go retro.

And who says discard sucks these days? (For that matter, why did I hear that at Caw-Blade's height?)
