Target opponent loses 5 life unless that player discards two cards or sacrifices a creature or planeswalker of their choice. Repeat this process once.

The same player chooses both times. In a multiplayer game, you can’t choose a different opponent to repeat the process.

The player can’t choose to discard two cards unless they have at least two cards in hand. Similarly, that player can’t choose to sacrifice a creature or planeswalker unless they control one. This means that if the target opponent doesn’t have two cards in hand and doesn’t control a creature or planeswalker, that player will lose 5 life and then lose 5 life again.
Random a card of Magic: The Gathering (MTG), but you can also roll the D20 dice, random a Planeswalker, have fun with the random rules and more.
