@Zulp
You're absolutly right, this does fare better if you're playing all black then blue draw spells do.
Careful how you word things. But I get what you mean and I agree.
@Tovaras
This isn't a reprint of Night's Whisper, it's an improved varient. Thia allows you to target your opponent. And it's common.
@CAustin582
He meant that the newer players will usually use it on him thinking that it's meant as a damage spell primarily and not a draw spell.

good for Megrim/Liliana's Caress decks when your opponent has no cards in hand. put 2 cards in their hand then mind rot or duress them out.

Still a great card, although I really prefer the M10 flavor text.

Pretty much a 4-of for mono black. This is a cheaper divination, and the life loss is almost entirely negligible since black has a lot of strong options to gain that life back: Vampire Nighthawk, Corrupt, Sorin Markov, Consuming vapors
Cheap card advantage is good.

Hitting yourself with this is the usual course for a black deck. However, I much prefer hitting my opponent. I understand the strategic purposes of using on yourself, but with cards like Quest for the Nihil Stone, Liliana's Caress, and the sheer number of 1-drop discards, this allows you to load your enemy's hand, knock them back down two, and they lose a total of 6 life (assuming Liliana's Caress). If they're empty-handed, they also lose 5 at the beginning of their turn, meaning they just got docked 11 points in one round, for a total cost of 4 black mana, assuming Quest on 1st turn and Liliana's Caress on 2nd.

good card, a very small Necropotence, since you basicly get a card for a life, also promise of power's little cousin, it is a good card, and i wanna see AD NAUSEUM reprinted in next core set, since we will probly never see necropotence again (playable) join the cause ! and play 4 of this in a mono black deck.
4.5

@ Don_Miguel or anyone who knows the answer. You said: Infernox10 that is not a good idea after Infernox10 said: Type your comment here. I want to know, was that just a casual comment to be taken literally/at face value? Or did you mean it like, it's a really BAD idea & if so, why?
