I find this card just as strong as hypnotic specter in a strict discard deck. Although you don't get the discard from damage, even a single discard (easily achieved by duress) makes it a 4/4, and difficult to block.
Play it in multiplayer with burning inquiry to easily make it a 14/14.
One of my favorite alternate win conditions in my discard

Raven's Crime, Delirium Skeins, Hymn of Tourach, and Cry of Contrition.
Or off color: Consult the Necrosages for versatility.
In multiplayer the best one would probably be Burning Inquiry.

Not so bad of a card, but if you are playing a lot of discard in a constructed game your playing hypiee and megrim. 2.0

Abyssal (Persecutor) (Vampire) Nocturnus. WTF. Wizards running out of ideas for card names?

I use this card and Liliana's Caress, then i use Burning Inquiry. 8/8 fear and 6 damage. In multiplayer this is awesome.

Use with Blightning for quick, offensive maneuvers.
