One of the most feared cards in Magic, back in the day. I have several of these and have fond memories of tormenting the crap out of people wih them.

Pick a discarding effect and go to work.

5/5

This is a very powerful, useful card. While the Black Vise hurts more early in the game (first turn especially), this one is harder to deal with later since it's generally harder to increase your hand size than to reduce it. 4.5/5

The Black Vise is worse than this...Although it is delicious when both are in play...

No excuse for this thing being 1 mana. Absolutely. No. Excuse. This has to be the single most annoying weapon in the discard deck repertoire, and for one mana, it's the definition of overpowered.

Excellent card to throw into any discard deck. Force discards with Liliana's Caress in play, then when they have nothing to discard they're still taking 3 damage per Rack. Combine with Nyxathid and Guul Draz Spectre for lots of lulz.

black vise and this one are both annoying. exactly the reason why you should maindeck disenchant, etc.

Brutal against any high-speed deck, and nasty when combined with discard effects. Almost as good as Black Vice, though it requires more work to get the most out of it.

Not a bad card, by any means, but definitely not as good as Black Vise. This thing can't kill your opponent in two turns with a hand with 3 of them and a dark ritual. It's not really good against fast decks, because chances are they're doing more damage to you by emptying their hand really fast than you are doing to them with this thing. Still, I could see it being a decent troll card in a free-for-all game.
