Bond of Agony - mtg.wtf

Sorcery

As an additional cost to cast this spell, pay X life.
Each other player loses X life.

The Rakdos are unique in designing torture equipment they can operate while "suffering" alongside their victims.

2006-05-01 You can choose an X that's equal to your life total. If you do, you'll pay that much life when the spell is cast and will lose the game before it resolves.
2006-05-01 You can't choose an X that's greater than your life total.
2013-04-15 You must pay both X life and {X}{B}. For example, if you want each other player to lose 2 life when Bond of Agony resolves, you must pay {2}{B} and 2 life.
