So... they discard a card, and since more often than not when someone is asked to discard a card they'll opt for a land, this comes back to your hand.
COOL!

sine the opponent is the one picking the card to drop i don't see why this doesn't have a mana cost of one. i think that would make all the difference.

Tons of people aren't using it right. It's not something you play early game. Save it for the mid game when you could cast it multiple times in one turn, and it's also incredibly useful with Liliana's Caress in play. It doesn't have the edge that Inquisition and Duress give you (being able to choose the cards), but it really wrecks combo decks and other decks that like to hold onto their precious 6-drops.
If you use it in conjunction with the aforementioned discard tech, and leave them with only lands in hand, this is just brutal.

I just decided to finally test this sucker. To my surprise, it's actually pretty good. Early game it says: target player discards a nonland card. Late game (in a discards deck) it says: discard the rest of your hand. However, because discard as whole is bad right now, this card is forced to suffer. :'(
Wizards created and killed my favorite discard spell in the same block.

I've played against this a few times, its really amazingly effective. It drops after Duress/Inquisition already dumped a spell from your hand, leaving you with less options. Pretty solid option overall.

I like the concept behind this card: you keep getting another chance to hit something useful if they discard crap. It's too slow to really work well, but it's an interesting address to the age-old problem with "opponent's choice" discard.

The effect basically stops when your opponent discards a non-land card, has no hand or you run out of mana.
A contested card, but 'm going to have to say that, outside of limited, having your opponent discard at random or choosing what they discard yourself is always going to be better in the game. The best that having them choose what to discard can do is when they have so few cards in their hand anyway that they may as well be discarding at random or you may as well be choosing.
If your opponent is discarding lots and lots of land when you use this on them, they must have a real bomb and if they're a smart opponent they know that this is going back to your hand continuously so if you're opponent discards land until you tap out, he's most likely going to hit you with whatever he refused to discard next turn.

This card would be pretty interesting if it were an instant
As it stands its a very interesting idea, recurring discard spell, but a little weak on effeciency
