Mad King's Crown
Artifact
When ~ comes into play or you gain control of ~, you gain 20 life.
When you lose control of ~ or ~ leaves play, you lose 20 life.
At the beginning of your upkeep, you lose 2 life.
Pay 2 life: Gain control of ~ unless ~'s controller pays :1mana:. Any player may play this ability, but only if he or she could play a sorcery.
I have no idea what I've just unleashed on poor innocent casual and multiplayer games. I have some vague thoughts about strategies involving suckering an opponent into holding the Crown for you and taking the burn until you steal it back at the right moment for some nasty Channel-type finish (or just to save your bacon).

You know, I like this... It'll change the game totally as people will be going mad at this... Or, if you're playing against a control player, he'll simply delay forever and you'll kill yourself in 20 turns....
Oh...dear....god. I don't even want to think about playing games with this on the table. Note - this is insane in Multiplayer decks with Lifegain. I want to play a deck with Zur's Weirding, the Blue and White Hondens, Words of Wind, and this thing. Great card.

This card is Arcane, er, I mean insane. It has some use but they get 20 life, so the card may see play. I'll try proxying it and report my results if my friends agree.
hum... Grab Bag. would go well in my mass chaos deck.

The way I see it, Magic isn't about winning, it's about FUN! And what's more fun than chaos?

Exactly! I totally agree... I play control, and I agree it's not fun for the other guy... But this card would be good for a laugh or two...
Mad King's Crown + Mindslaver. Fun!

I'll consider trying this one out with my playgroup. Although, they might take too well to the OMG it doesn't existness of it.
:symw::symu: Merfolk
Definitely not an aggro player.
Mindslaver pretty much owns the game when it goes off anyways... Necropotence or stuff just makes it easier...
They lose the 20 life when they lose control of the card...
