Negative Abilities-CLOSED
UPDATE: Because of how successful this contest has been, there are too many entries for me to judge alone. Please message me if you want to help me judge! I'm thinking I need anywhere from one to four more judges.
What's up Cardsmiths, I'm back at it with another contest
So your goal here is to make a good card, probably overpowered, that becomes balanced with a negative effect. This can be specific like Landfall or Revolt or it can be something like an ETB ability.
Example:
Rules:
Must be an ability that already exists.
Must be a negative effect/cost (obviously)
Can be an old card.
Can be any card type/color/mana cost
Maximum two entries per person
Must be submitted before January 5th.
Prizes:
Honorables, (if any): Follow
3rd place: 3 favorites and follow
2nd: 5 favorites and a follow
1st: 5 favorites, follow, and one month of PREMIUM FEATURES
If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Good luck everyone!

This one would be way to good without its ETB.
Manaburn comeback! I don't know if the wording is sound though.
Here is how I would do it, but I could definitely be wrong;
Whenever Manaform Monstrosity is dealt damage, tap all lands you control. At the beginning of your end step, if Manaform Monstrosity was dealt damage this turn, you lose life equal to the amount of mana in your mana pool.
@Everyone
Everything looks great so far!
Yep, that counts.
i hope he is good.
Nice and simple. And stupid, too. I am very proud of the flavor text reference:

Sure, you get to steal your opponent's stuff, but they get to steal twice as much from you. And if they deign to choose Foolhardy Thief, let the fun begin!
My first entry. Some nice football flavour.
The downside of this one is the fact that it says "All players", not "All opponents"
Second Entry
Changed my second entry.
