I don't see why this card is rated so low! For Black Discard, this is one of the most powerful early-hitters since Raven's Crime! Mire's Toll being the exception.

@ Hayw00d0909; Exactly what I use this card for ;)
Turn one swamp this discard say Pathrazer of Ulamog
Turn two Swamp Reanimate
Turn three swing and sweep their board
Turn four ???????
Turn five win + profit =)

I agree with PhyrexianAdvocate on this one. In my {BR} vampire control deck I use this to slow down their hand by an extra card and possibly get a nice target in the graveyard for Rise from the Grave. It was spectacular when on turn 6 I stole a Pelakka Wurm they discarded on turn 1.
It may not be Duress, Inquisition of Kozilek, or even Blackmail. But it's a card for a card and it punishes people who use Halimar Depths. It has its applications, trust me. You'll laugh when you score the good card they scried to the top of their library with Augury Owl.

I fail to see why this is a bad card. It works excellently as an cheap discard alongside Lilliana's Caress. I run 4 in my discard deck and it works great.

Perhaps the people who are hating on it play a lot of limited, in which it blows. Otherwise though you guys have come up with some cool applications for it.

Ya I don't understand why this is rated so low, one mana too force your opponent to discard and possibly get rid of some valuable land off the top of their library you can't really go wrong...

I use this in my Crypt of Agadeem/Exsanguinate MBC deck on myself. I regularly take an average of 40 life from someone in one turn. My friends refuse to play multiplayer with me if I use that deck.

This is a very underestimated card. Why? Liliana's Caress ran with Duress, Mind Rot, Dispise & Psychic Miasma.
Turn one you can use either Duress (remove spell: counter spell) or Horrifying Revelation (to get card advantage).Turn two, Liliana's Caress and mill/discard & control for the rest of the game. Another under-rated card if used well.
I'd probably run Gitaxian Probe to get the draw & keep tabs along with Liliana Vess for good measure.

Why yes, I did just put two Vengeful Pharaohs into my graveyard.
