Capital Punishment, Sorcery, designed by Lake Hurwitz first released in Aug, 2016 in the set Conspiracy: Take the Crown.
This card, Capital Punishment, could be beneficial in a control deck that focuses on resource denial and disruption, as it can potentially clear the opponent's board and hand. However, there are more efficient options available in Magic: the Gathering, such as Damnation or Inquisition of Kozilek, which offer similar effects at a lower cost or with additional benefits. Ultimately, the decision to include Capital Punishment in a deck would depend on the specific strategy and synergy within the deck, but it may not be a top choice for competitive play.

Because the votes are made in turn order, each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.

Each opponent chooses an appropriate number of creatures to sacrifice in turn order, then all of those creatures are sacrificed simultaneously. After that is complete, each opponent sets aside an appropriate number of cards to discard in turn order, then all cards are revealed and discarded simultaneously.

If a creature with an enters-the-battlefield council’s dilemma ability leaves the battlefield before that ability resolves, players can still vote for any option that would put +1/+1 counters on that creature, even though—or perhaps especially because—those votes won’t generate an effect.
08/23/16
Players can’t do anything between voting and finishing the resolution of the spell or ability that included the vote.

Unlike the will of the council cards from the original Conspiracy set, where a majority of votes determined what happened, each vote made for a council’s dilemma card adds to the ultimate effect.
