Duriele: Congratulations! You've rediscovered mill!
Seriously though, the discard isn't the greatest. I'd rather you be able to choose a nonland card and they choose the other or they both be random.
It would definitely be overpowered compared to now, but stronger cards go along with hard to splash costs.

Its very versatile, but yes its also the worst of the charms. Blightning is a strictly better version of the discard. Enchantment destruction doesn't hurt, but then again there are other enchantment removals. Drawing two cards is nice, but again for 3 mana there are other cards that draw more for the same cost. If your playing blue and you need any of the 3 abilities, it at least gives you multiple options, and that never hurts.

Instant speed discard makes this pretty attractive actually. If they still have the extra card in hand blocking you for getting the soft lock.
These colors are great for the deck as well with cards like Misinformation, Portent, and white/black/blue having answers for *every* permanent type. Bounce lands, kill/exile creatures, destroy anything else you don't like.
Mind twist is great in these colors given it's color light.

I don't understand how Esper control isn't a thing right now with the power level of this card. As of right now there are no cards that give the same drawing power at instant speed for less mana, and only two for the same amount of mana, one that requires you to run an artifact deck and another that shocks you. Think twice is used FOR it's instant speed so the deck can always be doing something. This card is one of the only instant speed discard cards there is, the only other one that can discard two at instant speed costs 6 mana (discards 4 if casts at sorcery speed). Being in the same colors as piracy charm and funeral charm (which was timespiraled) you can stop an opponents top decks for multiple turns in a row. The third effect could be anything and it really wouldn't matter.
I am currently trying to break it with a modern Esper pox deck and it isn't doing too bad, if anybody has any other idea's for this report back when you can :)

I'm sorry but does no one realize that this is one of the few instances of instant speed discard? That alone is a powerhouse as it especially locks people out of cards in hand, and unless the two cards they have in hands are instants, both are being discarded whenever you want. The card is the same CMC as Divination and Mind Rot, and is all around just a great card. If my red / black discard deck wasn't, well, red/black, I'd easily run two of these.
