"Captive Audience:Choosing your damnation"

Captive Audience is one of those cards just screaming to be played in a chaos infused edh game. A 7 mana of the Rakdos colors and 5 mana of any color this enchantment can mean the end of a player in the right conditions.
You could see all the faces in the crowd looking on at the grisly spectacle before them , you might probably see the same look on your opponents as you choose one of them for the slaughter. 3 damnations await for chosen player and they have the unfortunate task of choosing their pain.
The choices are as follows:
1) Have their life total reduced to 4.
2) Have them discard their hand.
3) Have them witness the emergence of 5 2/2 Zombie creatures on all of their opponents side of the board.
All of these choices are painful and you could see the creeping horror that would follow if they are not able to deal with this particular enchantment in the next 3 turns.
Losing your hand might not mean much when you are already running out of steam but would be excruciating if you already had your combo pieces and would not be unable to use them.
Being down to 4 life means that you can be within spitting distance to the grave with a 4 power creature pushing you there or a well timed burned spell doing the deed.
Or they could just be gnawed by zombies. Representing 10 damage if all their opponents attack.
None of the choices seem all that appealing. Fortunately it is your chosen opponent who would do all the thinking and dying.
