Let the Eight-tred flow!
In magic some of the most useful spells typically cost 1-3 mana. Deck building typically involves wanting to curve out, so people generally don't stuff their deck with nothing but high cost spells once they get what optimal deck building is. High cost spells are usually one offs or the win condition of a deck so no many of them in there. Even then many rarely ever see constructed play.
So I opted to come up with a contest to celebrate high cost spells. The spell needs cost 8 mana(A converted mana cost of 8) in the top corner of the card. You are allowed to make spells that are reduced in cost somehow, but the goal to to make balanced but potentially useful spells however you arrive at that answer. They can be any card type or rarity. You have up to 5 entries old or new. Prizes- 5 favorites of your choosing for first, 4 for second, 3 for 3rd. (Plus whatever honorable mentions depending on the turn out.) Contest will end the 1/20/2020.
Examples.....
So it's pretty open to what you wanna make...it just better cost 8 mana. Let's see what 8 mana gets us.....

I got one with an 8cmc...
I'm also fairly confident most people get the star wars reference of the topic title....but you never know.....
Palpatine says, "Let the hatred flow thru you", to Luke in Return of the Jedi. The topic title is a bad pun of that, "Let the Eight-tred flow" instead.

Just reposting your card so it's easier to view. (which helps for judging later to be able to quickly view all entries.)
Maybe it's too expensive at 8? I mean to say it's a "win more" card rather than a win card.
<a href=“https://mtgcardsmith.com/user/IanLowenthal”>links</a>but those haven’t been working lately either.I like the XXW cost. Since it’s a repeatable ability and hard to stop that is a fine cost.
