    As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may sacrifice any number of nonland permanents. This spell costs 1 generic mana less to cast for each permanent sacrificed this way. Whenever this creature enters or attacks, put a blight counter on it. Then for each blight counter on it, each opponent loses 4 life unless that player sacrifices a nonland permanent of their choice or discards a card.

    An opponent can always choose not to sacrifice a nonland permanent or discard a card (and therefore lose 4 life) even if they have cards in their hand or nonland permanents on the battlefield.

    If Rottenmouth Viper leaves the battlefield before its triggered ability resolves, use the number of blight counters that were on it as it last existed on the battlefield to determine how many times each opponent must make the listed choice.

    In a multiplayer game, each opponent in turn order makes all of their choices, then all of the actions occur simultaneously. Opponents will know what choices opponents earlier in turn order made, although cards chosen to be discarded this way won’t be revealed until they’re discarded at the end of the process.
