-Unless its Controller...-
Abstruse Interference, Calculated Dismissal, Cowed by Wisdom etc
What do all these cards have in Common?
The phrase - "unless its controller...pays blah blah bla"
This contest is a simple 3 week run-of-the-mill 'create your best card' with 'certain defined parameters'.
I am not rich, nor have I any special abilities, but I can favorite your cards.
1st Place Winner - 8 other Faves of their choice, glory
2nd Place - 4 other Faves of their choice, less glory
3rd Place - 2 other Fave of their choice, almost no glory
And of course I will be favoring any card that I like. I ask that participants also favorite cards that they like.
--~-- RULES --~--
1- Each spell must include "unless its controller" in the body of the card's text. Counter spells are the most common you see in MTG, but I will be judging on creativity and usage. If you make a counter spell, make it awesome.
2 - Each spell must be stylized realistically. That means no funny/unglued, pokemon, or pop stars. The art must be taken from a previous mtg card, or a digital painting/drawing on deviantart.com or a similar site . Please credit the artist.
3 - Maximum of 3 entries per user.
4 - The cards must have been created new for the contest, or within this past week. (RIP: May 9, 2017-present)
Thanks y'all. Have a great day, get creating!

Can the card just offer the opponent a choice? Would Rhystic Siphon qualify? How about Painful Quandary?
Rhystic Siphon wouldn't really apply, while Painful Quandary would have to change to
Whenever an opponent casts a spell, that player loses 5 life unless its controller discards a card.
'its controller' would replace "he or she"
But no @everyone I would not disqualify you if you used wording like Painful Quandary
Updates! Huge thanks to @MrRansom!
Card coming soon!

Entry #3:
Ship Sinker deals one damage unless the controller of the attacking creature takes two damage? I think you should change that to just W. XD
The whole point was if the opponent controlled white land then it is easy to avoid, otherwise if they reeeeeealllly want to avoid the damage to the creature the opponent can lose 2 life. (a 3/1 creature for example).
To clarify about Glory's Corruption, the "unless its controller pays 2 life" refers to the whole effect, not the effect on the emblem.
