First:
- this is better than mind rot. It's not a great card, but better than mind rot. Mind rot has a better rating because newbies don't look that often at old cards. So more newbies look at m10 and are more easily impressed by mind rot and thus rate it higher.

- it's better than fugue. fugue has only one mode: discard 3 for 5, which is bad. This can discard 2 for 3, or 3 for 3 with kicker. It's more versatile.

- also, bog down can be used with other cards, like rumbling aftershocks or saproling infestation. You can also sac lands that you just steal temporarily, like with herald of leshrac

So in short: it's no great card, but better than mind rot and can be comboed with other stuff.

Hmm, and Mind Rot has nearly a 4-star rating. Yes, the kicker cost is bad. So don't use it. It's difficult to imagine a situation where I would want to pay the kicker, but that option makes this superior to Mind Rot. This is worth 4 stars, people.

I've kicked this. When that third card is the best in their 3-card hand, it can certainly be worth two lands.

I like this card. I've played Mind Rot before in the late game, and this looks strictly better.

I agree with rubber, this is a mind rot with the ability to do more. Just don't pay the kicker if it's that unappealing.

You're playing in {B}...if you're using this card, it's probably an aggro/discard build or just straight discard with lots of cheap, effecient spells and things that ping your opponent. Why would you care how many lands you have?

This is not Hymn to Tourach. It's not even Fugue. It's crap.

RATING: 1.5/5
