Any black player: "Go ahead, copy it.. " *evil grin*

Even without shenanigans, any deck running this will be ready for low hand size and the opponent likely won't be.

Functionally a "every discards their hand" or a 2 mana color-light Mind rot.

Perhaps the only way to make an opponent discard your cards without Hive Mind.

Psychic Purge
Guerrilla Tactics
Mangara's Blessing
Dodecapod
Metrognome
Obsinate Baloth
Wilt-Leaf Liege
Sand Golem

I love the idea - I really do - but how likely is it that someone would ever copy it (or cast it in the first place)? I don't see many solid reasons.
1) You have no cards left that you're worried about discarding.
2) You need to be certain that your opponent can't answer an upcoming play.
3) You think your opponent is hurt more by discarding than you are; although whichever deck originally cast it surely has some synergy.

Use it with cards that give you shroud, such as True Believer. With Leyline of Sanctity you can potentially play this with no drawback on turn 2 in {B}{W}..
