Hahaha, blast. Because it does damage. Its kind of like an uncommon Prophetic Bolt.

Too bad you can't choose your target after drawing and discarding.
Oh well, i guess there has to be some Izzet vibe to it.

Terese Nielson has drawn Niv-Mizzet and Ral Zarek on the same card. My life is now complete.

This is actually really good, believe it or not.
Drawing two cards = Divination = 3 CMC.
Not to mention you get to sift a little.
Now, let's assume you discard a card with CMC 4. Ral Zarek, Restoration Angel, whatever.
Dealing 4 damage to any target without drawback = Flame Javelin = 3 CMC (more or less).
Already, it's decent. Two spells tied together, with a little extra sifting.
But all you have to do is discard something big to make it incredible. Even 1 more damage makes it great. When you consider the possibility of discarding any of the huge-CMC cards that have been printed in the last year alone such as Worldspine Wurm, Omniscience, Worldfire, Enter the Infinite, this card can sometimes instantly win you the game. Even something as low as 6 damage (possibly discarding Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius/autoc... (see all)

Oh dear, they really shouldn't have printed "or target player", should they have?

"Ral Zarek's brainstorms bring actual thunder and lightning."
In other words, Ral Zarek is the Chuck Norris of Ravnica.

The other thing that holds me back from saying that this card's quite good is the fact that you have to choose first before you do the discarding/damaging. Sure it's good when you have some cards in your hand already, but if you don't have anything, that makes it more unpredictable (somewhat unreliable).
The cost is still quite high though.
3.5/5
