wow!! just noticed that there is a cycle of 7 cmc rare creatures from shadowmoor that corrispond to the hideaway lands from lorwyn! just think,
hollowborn barghest for howltooth hollow.
isleback spawn for shelldock isle.
knollspine dragon for spinerock knoll.
mossbridge troll for mosswort bridge.
windbrisk raptor for windbrisk heights.

weakest of the 5 hideaways, black does like to force discard but to get this you have to have no cards in your hand, not a good situation for you

Thou fools! You know not what you speak of!
This is BETTER in multiplayer than Duals- consider for example, the design of some card like Syphon Mind- true that one in particular would fill your hand, but in fact Discard has been severely weakened in Duels, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME they allow it to be fairly strong in Multiplayer, because they assume that people can reload/fill much, much more easily in that format- which they can.
You ask for this card to be more powerful, when I already know exactly what I want it for: Kaalia of the Vast EDH. Kaalia herself is strong enough to be repeatable, but it's difficult for her to get more than one extra free creature per turn.
Use the Hideaways for redundancy- rather than needing for them to be Engines like Kaalia, you can get fine use out of them as one-shot spells, gambles to see if you can greatly increase the pressure on a single turn. Since you don't need to control everyone's hands EVERY TURN, you will find it is much more doable to try... (see all)

And it gets even tougher to qualify for it in a multiplayer game, while several of the others get easier. It should have just said "an opponent".

Worst in the cycle by a wide margin.

Why has no-one mentioned Brink of madness?

Starting to come up with a deck build around this, Brink of Madness and Putrid imp. Obviously you'd need to some other cards to support the set up (still thinking that part through) but it seems like it could be made viable.
Of course, compare it to windbrisk and it's on a whole other power level (a much lower one), but it could make a fun deck to build around.
