So strictly from the wording, the creature that uses this card would be eligible as a target as it belongs to you and is within 5 spaces of itself. That said, it does not seem to be in the spirit of what the card was intended to do. Is there a ruling for these types of effects that states otherwise or can Death Sentence be used on the creature that is designated the user of the action?

Thanks! It does make sense in some ways, and for a level 3 card it seems reasonable in terms of power.
