Goodbye Megrim. This makes discard-damage more viable, where otherwise it might've been meh.

Faster than Megrim, but if running a Furnace of Rath or increasing damage, Megrim has it's finer points.

In Legacy they call it:
Turn 1- Swamp, Dark Ritual, Sol Ring, Caress, Caress
Turn 2- Island, Wheel and Deal / Windfall. Typically if there are no counters (FOW), Win.

its an improvement on megrim i guess, but it still falls to the problem that ANY time i would play this card in a discard deck i would much rather be just casting a hymn to tourach or something similar... playing this on turn 2 just gives your opponent the chance to play those 2 or 3 drops that you want to take out of their hand early.
this card does nothing to affect neither the board nor their hand... in a discard deck you need to take out their hand fast, and this card just doesnt do that. waste of a card slot.

No one, seriously has considered Mind Sludge
Sure, it costs 5...
but... you know, you at least discard 5 if they have a full hand. That's 10 damage.
NOT EVEN RED CAN DO THAT!

Well. Megrim could harm planeswalkers, so it has to go. I never really liked the megrim. Plain damage for discard felt like people didn't understand the real value of discard. And this card isn't much better. The cmc2 slot should be used for discard spells instead,
So my version would have been a Leyline.
