    Text (6th+errata): At the beginning of the end step, if no creatures are on the battlefield, sacrifice ~this~. ; {B}: ~this~ deals 1 damage to each creature and each player. [Oracle 2009/07/08]
  • It is not targeted, so it will try to damage creatures with Protection from Black, but note that Protection from Color immediately reduces all damage of that color to zero, so the damage is prevented before it can actually hurt the creature. [D'Angelo 1998/02/03]
  • Each activation is considered a new damage effect. An activation can only be 1 point of damage. [Duelist Magazine #12, Page 26]
  • It will stay in play if there is a creature which is put into the graveyard at end of turn. This is because this ability will not trigger at all if there is at least one creature in play at that time. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]
    Remember that the current player's "at end of turn" effects resolve after the other player's because they are put on the stack first.
  • Note that "until end of turn" effects wear off after this, so a Mishra's Factory can keep Pestilence in play. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]
  • Applies to all players and their creatures in multiplayer games. [Duelist Magazine #4, Page 64]
