I don't like how it makes you keep track of something without any sort of physical reminder. Maybe it could be something more like Azor's Elocutors? Of course, that's been done already. Maybe you could lower the cost and make it an aura for players that causes them to lose?
An uncounterable, unbouncable, unkillable wincon? With that cost and the time restriction it could actually work. I mean, even if you combo this out turn 1, aggro can still beat you. Presumably control could stop the combo. In any event I doubt that combo would be happening in standard.

It counts each player end steps. If you combo this out turn one in modern, it beats all combo decks (around 85/15)and control decks(Barely exists in modern), and goes about 50/50 with aggro if you have any defense. In standard, it's easy to cast on turn three, then win turn 5 or 6. That's a the same speed as a all-in aggro deck, but beats control almost perfectly.

Without the alt cost, it's power level is fine, but it's boring. Why not make 10 5/5 indestructible, unblockable, hasty demons? More flavorful and fun.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that alt cost.

^Missing "with cmc X" from second ability.
-8 should probably give an emblem... to the opponent, perhaps?

It should, but I'm too pretentious.
Target player/opponent gains an emblem with "You can't draw cards/Skip your draw steps(?)."

Er? I count 3 for steinhauser (as much as I prefer Endless Night to Death World)

Edit: Got wrong card.

Preferred Pronoun Set:
Word, good catch. I was in a hurry to close all the threads by midnight. Your switch to Steinhauser really confused me; I think that me counting that twice is what led to the error.
