In Rift Stadium, strange things can occur. Sometimes, things fall from the sky, or some random character shows up, or a strange scene plays out. These often have an effect on the game, and are known as Hazards and Wyld Surges. Hazards occur after a certain number of rounds, but something has to cause a Wyld Surge. The specific trigger for a Wyld Surge is determined by the referee at the beginning of the match, although you could also give your character the ability to trigger Wyld Surges. In other words, a Wyld Surge is like a trap, so when it occurs it will most likely affect the person who triggered it (the "Caster") and the whoever they were trying to attack (the "Target," which could be the Caster depending on what they were doing). It doesn't need to specifically affect the Caster or his Target, but with Wyld Surges you do have that option. Hazards occur at intervals on their own, so there's nothing that actually sets them off.
If you have a suggestion for a Hazard or Wyld Surge, post it here. It doesn't have to have anything to do with what's happened during the match. They can be based on any sort of event from TV, movies, books, the internet, even chat logs! Please use the following form:
Title: (something to identify the hazard/wyld surge by) Category: (Hazard or Wyld Surge) Theme: (Optional) Description: (what happens) Target: (As many or as few as you like, or even using some kind of criteria) Effect: (If applicable)

I forgot to mention something about Wyld Surges. Often what sets them off is determined at the beginning of the match, and it's usually an action, like attacking or casting a spell or something. Their targets tend to be the "Caster" and/or whoever they were targeting.
I guess I'll add a Category slot or something and be a bit more clear on the nature of Wyld Surges. It was late when I wrote that and I was in a hurry to log off.
Edit: Actually, the real problem with Landmine is the trigger. No one's going to voluntarily step on a landmine, especially in an environment where they can avoid it by not even mentioning it. In order for someone to "accidentally" step on it, the referee will have to arbitrarily determine that someone steps on it as well as who was in proximity when it went off. You might want to change the trigger to something like, "The first poster who moves in any direction other than up."
Also, since it has a specific trigger, it might make a better hazard. When the hazard occurs, the landmine appears, and then it can be triggered by someone walking on it. Remember, this is something that occurs at random, like a "Chance" card in a board game, not something actually set up in advance, like a space on that board.

The Abridged Series Description: -Yami Yugi: And now I activate Reborn the Monster in order to resurrect Tristan's original voice! -Tristan: Hey, what gives? I liked my new voice!

Title: Screw the Rules, I'm Rich! Category: Hazard Theme: Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series Description: -Yugi: Holy Ra! Real monsters! -Kaiba: Actually, they're just super-advanced holograms created for the sole purpose of enriching the experience of a children's card game. -Yugi: Okay, seriously, you've got to be f***ing kidding me. Who wastes all their money on something like that? -Kaiba: The guy who's about to kick your pasty pharoah butt with three Blue Eyes White Dragons, that's who! -Yugi: Wait a minute... Did you just summon a bunch of monsters in one turn? -Kaiba: Yeah, so? -Yugi: That's against the rules, isn't it? -Kaiba: Screw the rules! I have money!

Title: Attention Duelists! Category: Hazard Theme: Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series Description: "Attention Duelists! My hair is telling me it's time for you to board! Anyone without a crazy hairstyle will not be permitted to enter the Duelist Kingdom!" "Attention Duelists! If you'll all stop staring at my hair for a moment, you'll see that Pegasus' Castle is just behind me. Please follow the unnecessarily long staircase to meet your host." "Attention Duelists! My hair is assaulting you!" "Attention Duelists! I'm still not going to unhand him!" "Attention Duelists! My hair has abducted this small child! If you want me to release him, you must defeat Seto Kaiba's ghost in a duel!" "So then I said, 'Attention Duelists!' Man, you shoulda seen me!" Target: The character with the worst hairstyle, chosen at random if there's a tie. Effect: Target must declare each action they make out loud and begin each statement with "Attention Duelists!" or take ten damage each round. This effect lasts until the next Hazard occurs or they are inflicted with a status condition with an asterisk next to it on the Status Effect list. (If they already have such an affliction, they are still affected by this Hazard)
Edit: I couldn't decide which quote to use, and I couldn't remember the character's name, so I just listed them all like that.
