Mindless Duel

Council's dilemma - Starting with you, each player
votes for denial or manipulation. For each denial
vote, counter target spell unless its owner pays {1} for each denial vote. If that spell is countered
this way, exile it instead of putting it into its
owner's graveyard. For each manipulation vote,
that player gets a manipulation counter.
Denial is the shock absorber for the soul. It protects us
until we are equipped to cope with reality.
