Plague of Vermin, Sorcery, designed by Carl Critchlow first released in May, 2008 in the set Shadowmoor. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's a key card in 13 combos.
A deck that focuses on draining opponents' life totals or gaining life to offset the cost would benefit from using Plague of Vermin, such as a mono-black control or lifegain deck. However, there are better cards like Exsanguinate or Debt to the Deathless that offer more efficient ways to drain life or win the game. Plague of Vermin could see play in a casual setting for its unique and fun gameplay, but in competitive environments, it may not be the most optimal choice.

If a player chooses to spend life, their life total goes down immediately. This will affect how much life that player can spend the next time the process gets around to them. If a player chooses to pay life three different times during this process, for example, that counts as three separate instances of losing life, not as one.

In a game of N players, the process ends when all N players in sequence (starting with you) choose not to pay life. It doesn’t end the first time a player chooses not to pay life. If a player chooses not to pay life but the process continues, that player may pay life the next time the process gets around to them.

In a Two-Headed Giant game, each player on a team gets a chance to pay life. The team’s life total is adjusted in between.
