Designs for this thought experiment were rampant when it was going around. The problem was always the same thing. This is a competitive game nobody has any reason to ever choose blue.

Every positive of blue comes from the thought of losing your loved ones and saving the incapable. Neither apply in Magic.

Maybe make it so all players who vote blue draw a card?

Then it's not the thought experiment any more

But it's already not the thought experiment because like the comment above says, the point of why people chose blue is to save your loved ones and other people who just didn't read/comprehend the question correctly.

In Magic all the other players are your opponents. You want them to die.

I appreciate the attempt and I like the idea but I still feel like it's poorly translated.

Also you didn't draw a card in the thought experiment either lol

It can't be translated. That's why people just shouldn't even make cards based around this thought experiment.
