Simply a beautifully designed card. Versatile and adaptive. Low cost with a corresponding drawback that fits black. Gorgeous artwork and the best flavor text I've seen in a long while. 5/5

Damn you targeted discard! I love to hate you thoughtseize. I should have bought my playset when I remember thinking..."20 dollars for a one mana discard, that's ridiculous..."

In a 1vs1 game, this card is really incredibly effective. In a multiplayer game it´s also still awesome. I don´t think that it´s broken at all, though. It´s just one of these rather rare, very good cards...
I rather don´t like to play it first round though. Like the flavor text of the card already suggests, I think this card comes best, when a game starts to get really interesting and the smell of death is already in the air. Wether you use it to protect your win condition from getting countered or removed, or you use it to let your opponents discard their most precious part of their win condition.
Sometimes, discarding a card even can be the only way to stop something from happening. Like for example, if your opponent has a Decree of Pain in his hand, ready cycle it. This isn´t even able to counter it (at least not with the counters I like to use), and if you only play weeny creatures, like me, then this pretty much can mean your end. This card is very good agai... (see all)

1) Thoughtseize
2) Inquisition of Kozilek
3) Duress
4) Despise
5) Appetite for Brains
I'd say it goes like that out of the 5 1 mana targetted discard spells. They're all useful but some more than others.

To all the folks arguing for Duress instead...Imaging Duressing in legacy and seeing one of these cards in their hand: Emrakul, Griselbrand, Tarmogoyf, Dark Confidant, Vendilion Clique, Stoneforge Mystic
...Yeah, sure wish you had a Thoughseize instead huh?

I would like it more if it wasn't, y'know fifty fraking bucks. Unless you can make a good deal, I saw one going for 37USD (120PLN).

An amazing card... but I'm never going to pay 60 bucks for one when I have so many Inquisition of Kozileks laying around. If the price was closer to Inquisition, then I'd replace it for sure.

As a new player, I failed to understand why this card was considered so good. I guess I just valued my life total to much. Years later, I see that 1 mana and 2 life to completely screw someones early game is just rediculous.
