# Choose Your Demise
- **Mana Cost:** `N/A` (CMC: 0)
- **Type:** Scheme

## Oracle Text
When you set this scheme in motion, look at the top four cards of your library and separate them into a face-down pile and a face-up pile. An opponent chooses one of those piles. Put the cards in that pile into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your library in any order.

## Official Rulings
- *(2017-06-13)* You don't have to reveal the cards in the face-down pile, no matter which zone they're put into. Resist the urge to gloat at the heroes if their decision serves your master plan.
- *(2017-06-13)* You choose one opponent to make the final choice of which pile is put into your hand, but all players may discuss and advise this choice.
- *(2017-06-13)* The split doesn't have to be even. The piles can be split with a single card in one pile and three cards in another. A pile can even have zero cards in it—in this case, an opponent chooses whether to put all the cards into your hand or into your library.
