"Shuffle, duffle, muzzle, muff.
Fista, wista, mista-cuff.
Darkness beyond darkness, deeper than pitchest black.
Buried beneath the flow of time...
From darkness to darkness, your voice echoes in the emptiness,
Unknown to death, nor known to life.
You who know the gate, who are the gate, the key and guardian of the gate:
I bid you open the way for him, and manifest his power before me!
Tourach...
Tourach!!!
TOURACH"

Honestly, I *hate* this card. Not because it's bad - it's freaking awesomely powerful in its effect - but playing online via MWS, I find many casual players who run it, and don't understand just how stupidly powerful it is. I mean, if we aren't doing anything to hold ourselves back from playing really powerful cards, are we even playing casual anymore?
Oh well; at least it isn't as bad as those playing Force of Will or vintage-only cards in casual. >.>

I put this card in all of my discard decks, along with Wrench Mind, Duress, Burning Inquiry, Blightning, and Liliana's Caress and Megrim. The Rack, Skullcage, and Abyssal Nocturnus rounded it out. Sign in Blood was sometimes used to refill the opponent's hand so that I could force them to discard again too.
Now, the really scary part is that, despite all of that fixing to maximize Hymn to Tourach's potential, it would do well on it's own in just about any deck, even those that do not employ such extensive discard strategies as a central theme. I've put it in 
/
Fairies decks, zombie decks, and even 
/ Sapproling decks. It's that good. When you have a card that can do well in just about any deck, you know it's powerful!

@Ferlord - I use 4x of the Kirschner (sp?) version, because I like the idea that my Hymn is just some dude losing at a drinking game.
As for old school discard shenanigans, T1 double ritual into this and good ol' hippy. Not too hard to do with 4 of each in the deck.

What a great inclusion in FtV20. I don't know what is harder to imagine: watching a legacy tournament without seeing Hymn, or the fact that this tournament-level card came from Fallen Empires.

Finally a way to have 4 different Hymn arts without having to use that Scott Kerschner one. I like this art almost as much as the Quinton Hoover art.

Since you have to pay {B}{B} for this, not {2}{B}, it's technically not strictly better than Mind Rot.
