Madness, reanimater, threshold, and other graveyard style decks could all make good use of this.

This card isn't bad at all. Build a deck around Chainer, Dementia Master and Avatar of Woe and this card is a MUST. For 2 mana you're either feeding Chainer and speeding up Woe's quick cast ability of causing your opponent(s) to lose 4 life. Black has plenty of other ways to rid the field of creatures so even if they decide to lose 4 life lieu of discarding a creature, they just lost 1/5 of their life for 2 mana.. 4/5 easily.

What's up with people these days just wanting power cards? Strongarm Tactics has a lot of combo potentials. As Yozuk mentioned, it fuels your own discard scheme, be it madness, threshold, and reanimation. It also target every player in a multi-player game. Do not dismiss a card's simply because it doesn't have a straightforward application.

Seriously, power creeping spoils new players.

Very situational. But at least it has a low mana cost.

Awful card. It should have been one-sided or "discards TWO cards".

The only thing that is "subpar" is people's imagination.

Can make some combos with madness, but however it's too narrow IMHO... Not that great of a card.
