Jaws of Defeat — Feast on Every Entry
Jaws of Defeat is a compact but ruthless enchantment that turns each creature drop into a clock for a single opponent. Cast for {3}{B}, it punishes unfavorable combat stats or deliberately inflated power by making target opponent lose life equal to the difference between that creature's power and its toughness whenever a creature you control enters the battlefield. It fits neatly into token strategies, sacrifice engines, and any deck that wants incremental drain without committing to a direct life payment.
The card reads simply and resolves cleanly, leaving room for synergies with enter the battlefield triggers and creatures that come into play with variable power or negative toughness modifiers. Use creatures with high power and low toughness or blink effects to generate repeated chump value. Practical players will slot this into Aristocrat shells, sacrifice combos, or commander builds looking for consistent life attrition that scales with board presence. Add this Near Mint English printing to your collection and start levering every new creature as a source of inevitable damage.
