Really not impressed by the new mechanic. Feels a little idiotic.

Figures youd say that, Wizards could make a "you lose" mechanic and you would like it.

I like fun more than I like to win. If all players aren't having fun its not worth playing.

What, about "For each player who does, return a creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield", is bad?

Its a powerful card but the mechanic is ****. Tempting offer is just lame as ****.

Tempting offer is great for commander. Which is what they designed it for. Certain people obviously don't really play cooperative multi-player. This specific card is on par with other reanimation spells, with a twist. In a proper deck, your opponent will have to think long and hard about if its worth it.

I played a lot of cooperative multiplayer in my day. but this card basically screams "tired rehash" and if theyre just gonna do one cycle with the ability word (like they did for channel and sweep, even though sweep was 2 cycles, didt they vow to not do one-off mechanics anymore?) That shows WotC's hypocrisy and weak judgment.

I am literally unable to parse your argument here. I think the brackets might need rejigging.

This is commander. Any keywords are for flavor and to help players remember what cards do.

So? Just because it's commander doesn't mean ****. They don't have to clog the text box with unnecessary ability words, when it's likely only gonna be used on one cycle of cards TOPS.

So you return a creature. (first sentence)
Each opponent ponders if they want to also. (Second sentence).
If and only if they do, you may return an additional creature to the BF for each opponent that exercises this option.

Is this right?
