** Another card that utilizes this trope is "Evenly Matched", which, at the end of the Battle Phase, forces your opponent to banish cards they control, face-down (meaning they are ''not'' getting them back without using some very specific cards) until they control the same amount as you do. If you activate this while you control no other cards, your opponent must pick ''one'' card to keep and get rid of all the rest.

* Parodied in ''ComicStrip/{{Dilbert}}'': In one strip, [[GoshdangItToHeck Phil the Prince of Insufficient Light]] comes up to Dilbert and sentences him to choose between the following two options: a highly paid yet utterly meaningless job whose results vanish before his eyes or a very low paid yet rewarding job that grants him the respect of his coworkers. Dilbert gleefully states that ''both'' options are better than what he has right now and calls Wally over to "get in on this".

In the episode, Quark must choose one of his three pieces to "die" in order to allow the other two to continue. This card, a dilemma, presents much the same choice.

* An intentional case during absolutism: Nobles were expected to take part in duels or they would lose their social standing, while dueling was strictly outlawed, which could have equally bad consequences. The silently encouraged third option was to do the act, then beg the monarch for mercy, thereby strengthening the dependence on the central power.
