- It fights target creature. If a creature dies this way, exile it instead.

I like the "song-inspired card" idea, so I shall use it:
Creeping Death
Casting Cost:
Legendary Enchantment
Cumulative upkeep - put a -1/-1 counter on a creature that you control.
Whenever a -1/-1 counter is placed on a creature that you control, put a -1/-1 counter on each creature that your opponents control.
My challenge, now, is to create a red/white/blue or red/white/black planeswalker.
