It's a common B sorcery. What did you expect, a functional reprint of Inquisition of Kozilek? This is the lowest discard can go, and to make matters worse, gets in the way when I try to search for real mill cards. The only way this will see play, is if someone can make a painful quandary deck before zen rotates out.

In late game when your opponent is top-decking (which is common in my discard focused MBC that makes heavy use of Black Sun's Zenith as well) this card is less vulnerable to the card-type limitations that Duress, Despise,Thoughtseize, and Inquisition of Kozilek (all of which are AWESOME cards btw) have.
OK, so you can't choose which card they have to ditch--not as big a deal when they don't have too many, right? I use this in my casual MBC where their hand has already been abused by other discard spells, specters, and board wipes.

Nobody seems to have mentioned this, but this is sick tech with Chimney Imp!

Useful in extended against the Harbingers from Lorwyn

This is being sorely underrated. There are many great applications for this card especially with Blood chief's Ascension.

The only pratical application I can see for this is using it on yourself...

I like this. Seems useful in Reanimator.

I must admit, this artwork creeps me out, so good on Shelly Wan for that. The card itself is mediocre compared to the choosy one-drop discard effects we know and love, so I wouldn't use it unless I was cobbling together a junky madness or dredge deck.

One Phyrexian mark later, all she sees is the glorious future where abhorrent Phyrexian critters run over the entire world. Everything and everyone she once knows of (plus herself) will be completely altered and made into yet another of the abhorrent Phyrexian pawns, and ready to be unleashed as Phyrexia takes its revenge upon the multiverse under the lead of the new Father of Machines.
