Varnel, the Chessmaster

{b/r}{r/w}, {t}: Exile one target creature you control and one target creature controlled by an opponent. They deal damage to each other equal to their power. The losing player loses 2 life, while the winning player may return their creature to the battlefield.

Whenever a creature you control dies, Varnel, the Chessmaster, deals 2 damage to any target if you do, and you draw a card.

"The board is eternal, the players ephemeral. Your next move was decided long before you took your first."
