- Jun 23, 2020 As Bad Deal resolves, first you draw two cards. Then the next opponent in turn order (or, if it's an opponent's turn, the opponent whose turn it is) chooses two cards in hand without revealing them, then each other opponent in turn order does the same. All the chosen cards are discarded at the same time. Then each player loses 2 life.
- Jun 23, 2020 Each player loses 2 life, including you, regardless of how many cards they draw or discard.
- Jun 23, 2020 If an opponent has just one card in hand, that player discards just one card. Other opponents still discard two if able.
