Target player draws four cards and loses 4 life.
Emperor Maltis had sacrificed thousands of lives to prolong his own. But, approaching his thousandth year of life, no amount of souls drained seemed to be able to halt the implacable approach of his own mortality.

The Cradle would be his, and none would stand in his way to true eternity. Not even his own son.
