How does Triskaidekaphobia work in MTG?
Oh, Triskaidekaphobia? It basically wins you the game if someone hits 13 life. Just sit back, adjust those life totals with its ability, and watch for the moment to say 'Gotcha!'

Triskaidekaphobia is a unique card in MTG that plays on the fear of the number 13. It's an enchantment card which means it stays on the battlefield once you cast it. The fun begins during your upkeep (the start of your turn); if anyone's life total is exactly 13, they lose the game! But that's not all, it also gives you the option to either have each player lose 1 life or each player gain 1 life during your upkeep, strategically nudging life totals closer to the unlucky 13.
Honestly, Triskaidekaphobia seems like more trouble than it's worth. I mean, hitting exactly 13 life? That's a lot of setup for a condition that's pretty easy to dodge with a well-timed life gain or loss.
