can you say Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur?

This is one of the deadliest finishers for my discard deck that packs Megrim and Liliana's Caress. While some people use Sign in Blood or a similar card in their discard decks so their opponent draws more cards to discard, this card eliminates the need for that completely.

The amazing self synergy here is that if they keep a card in their hand, your discard deck is going to attempt to get rid of it. What this really does is say "you lose 5 life each turn if I've ever gotten you to zero cards" as you're likely to have repeatable discard in a deck running this.
I will be trying it with Hypnotic Specter (of course!) and things like Raven's Crime. Good with Bloodchief Ascension as well, but more due to the type of deck you'll be running.

The effect of this card is easily circumvented.
Besides necessarily the opponent have to discard 2 cards while this is in play, to generate markers, he can not have any cards in hand during his upkeek. Avoiding any of the two variables he is not harmed.
Compare its effect with The Rack or Shrieking Affliction.

the fact that the beginning of upkeep begins before the draw step makes this card deliciously beautiful and delightfully evil especially when consumed with Sire of Insanity
Seems that R&D have made being Sadistic into an art-form.
Oh! You do great things, terrible, but great.
(Sorry, couldn't resist. This card makes me feel so unhinged every time I play it.)
