If you rounded out the other 8 cards, is there any possibility of making a fun deck out of this?  Who would be a good character for  it?
I'll give the same advice I've been giving for the past 5-6 years or so:  Make a deck because YOU find it fun and the people you play with (your brother or whomever) find it fun.  If you're making decks for anyone besides yourself and the people you play with, you're going to get frustrated because everyone kind of does their own thing and plays with the decks they like. This was true 5 years ago and is even more true now that hardly anyone plays the game.  I regret to inform you that I'd be surprised if anyone played with any new decks of anyone else's at this point.

I think this design can work, but you don't want it to be a one-trick pony with this its only trick.  Even Emperor can win without YOU WILL DIE (some don't think so, but they're wrong).  So the other 8 cards are important, they shouldn't just be fill-in cards but rather have their own theme and a "mini" path to victory.  Ideally, the other 8 cards could also make use of the 3x INSERT NAME HERE card.  Having one card tied up in one effect that is highly situational is fine, having 4 cards tied up in that single effect would be pretty frustrating.

As far as a character goes, this is a very dark-side effect so I'd start there.  Go read up on ancient Sith and see if it fits anyone.  Would fit Darth Bane pretty well as a THOUGHT BOMB card.  However everyone likes the EU Darth Bane so I doubt there would be much interest in another Bane deck by anyone outside of you or those you play with but as I wrote above, I doubt anyone would be interested even if it was for a character who currently doesn't have a deck.
