Head Games + Mindlock Orb = Opponent loses hand!

You play Mindlock turn 4 then turn 5 you Head Games them. They have to put their hand on top of their library, however, due to Orb's effect, you can't search their library to give them a new hand, so they have to shuffle their hand away.

This is a fun card, but it struggles to find a place. If it was cheaper it would have been a risky move by R&D. Though 2BlackBlack would have been a much better cost I think. As it stands it can be a fun card in very casual games, but is far outclassed by mediocre spells like Mind Sludge or even Wit's End. Mass discard spells aren't very good, the only time they will come in handy is when your opponent has a significant hand late game. This is usually against a control deck, which makes casting a big spell like this dangerous, an opponent with a counterspell has no reason not to use it against this.

Most people here stated they would fill their opponent's hand with land. That is honestly your best option since a well made deck uses every card pretty well. Still, how bad is a hand of just land? Compared to a normal discard spell, you have given your opponent 3-4 turns of guaranteed land drops and made them less likely to draw land on subsequen... (see all)

One of the few opportunities for Black to be nice.

Depends on your opponents deck. I think a handful of utility creatures can be just as beneficial. In multiplayer that may mean you load them up with the answers to all of the things you don't like; leaving them with a battlefield of 2/2s to trample over while looking like the good guy.
