Rationale

1cmc legendary enchantment — ETB forces targeted discard, then each legendary creature you control entering triggers targeted mill + life loss. Efficient 1-mana enchantment that generates value in legendary-matters and black aristocrat/drain shells; requires legendary creature density to generate recurring value from the second trigger. The "any number of target players" modal targeting keeps opponents in partial control of who gets hit.

Learnings (3)

  • The ETB discard and the recurring legendary-creature trigger both say 'any number of target players,' meaning you can choose different players each time or focus one opponent — relevant in multiplayer politics.

  • Because the recurring trigger fires on any legendary creature entering (not just from the hand), blink or flicker effects on legendary creatures (e.g., Ephemerate targeting a legendary) repeatedly proc the mill+life-loss drain.

  • At only 1 mana, this is one of the cheapest black legendary enchantments and can be recurred or replayed cheaply in legendary-matters shells to reset the ETB discard trigger.
