Discarding only loses relevance if your opponent either overextends or you've already been at work demolishing their hand.
This fat specter can be great in the right deck. The morph is an excellent addition.

As Mudbutt_on said; basically two Hypnotic Specters packed into one creature. Unfortunately, this also means that it comes into play 3 turns later, at which point discarding has lost much of its relevance.
Combos with Dark Ritual though

I run a black/blue bounce and discard deck, and this guy does wonders for me. Everybody seems to ignore the morph cost, but you can be swinging with him on turn 5, he gets especially nasty with Blizzard Specter, especially if that happened to be turn 4 and the opponent has no flying. Anyways I know it's only a less economical version of a more efficient creature, but that doesn't mean he can't wreak some havoc.

It being expensive sorta defeats the purpose of specters. Okay card though.

You might say that the cost is bad, but analyze it. In the past, black has had some of the least cost effective cards out of all other colors. A six mana four/four would be normal for most black creatures, but those creatures would probably have some form of drawback. Flying and double discard? Fine by me, even if it's not random. Seeing as to how most enemy decks won't have an enormous hand by turn 6, 7, 8, they'll probably be empty after this thing has a few hits at them. A good card, and a notable specter.

Costs twice as much as Abyssal, has twice the effect, twice the power/toughness, is twice as good??? NOPE!
Hehe, way to costly, and the discard isn't even random :(

Well, it's strictly better than Abyssal Horror.

Just big enough to use the Dragon Breath enchant for free! Cabal Ritual turn 2 into this guy (if you can get threshold! look at dredge!) can get you attacking Turn 2 with this guy. Card advantage here you come!!
