Creeping Dread

Because you consider only the characteristics of a double-faced card’s front face while it’s not on the battlefield, a double-faced card with different card types among its faces (such as Skin Invasion) only compares its front face to the other discarded cards.

If a player has no cards in hand, that player doesn’t discard a card while everyone else does. If you didn’t discard a card, no player can have discarded a card that shares a card type with the card you discarded, so no player loses 3 life.

If an opponent discards a card that shares two card types with the card you discarded, such as an artifact creature, that player still only loses 3 life.

When a spell or ability instructs each player to discard a card, starting with the player whose turn it is and proceeding in turn order, each player selects a card from their hand without revealing it, sets it aside, and then all of those cards are revealed and discarded at once.
