Would be great with board sweepers like Mutilate or Black Sun's Zenith.
This card says unload your hand ASAP, and the sweepers say NO.

This was printed in the same block as Damnation. Give your opponent a choice: Either over-extend to minimize the effect of the discard and lose all their cards to the combination of boardwipe and discard, or hold back so you get maximum value out of Mindstab while being able to save your board-wipe.
A control deck won't be worried about the boardwipe, but the discard will still hit them hard. They might counter it, but then they've tapped some of their lands and you haven't, so you can force through a threat or something.
