Eye for an Eye (Repaint)

Eye for an Eye is a two-mana white instant, first printed in Arabian Nights (1993). “The next time a source of your choice would deal damage to you this turn, instead that source deals that much damage to you and Eye for an Eye deals that much damage to that source's controller”. Eye for an Eye is historically important because it helped define white’s reactive and moral identity in Magic. It’s one of the first cards to embody “balance through retribution”. Playing with this card meant that you could potentially turn a loss into a tie, or even a win if you made your opponent deal lethal damage to themselves. It has a big surprise value, as the opponent may hesitate to go all-in when you’re holding up two white mana. In early Old School Magic, white decks often used cards like Wrath of God and Swords to Plowshares to control the board. Eye for an Eye attacks opponents from a completely different angle, which could surprise them. If your opponent tried to burn you out with e.g. Fireball, they could easily take themselves out instead. Eye for an Eye is not on the reserved list.
