I think this card is awesome, I dream of casting it in response to chilliana of the Veil, but thoughtseize or any other discard would be fine too :)
But is there enough discard threat in the Modern Meta with JUNK and JUND etc. to justify 2 or 3 of these in the sideboard?
I think this card is terrible in any Aggro strategy. You want to be deploying your threats each turn, not leaving up mana during your opponent's turn for something like Ignorant Bliss.

It would probably be better for a combo deck than an aggro one.

Wow, love that card!!! Definitely going to my favorites list!
And I'm pretty sure this won't be so hot in an aggro strategy. As Wiley said, you don't want to be keeping mana open.

True that.
I guess my bigger threats are 3-4 mana cost. I was thinking they would be on the play, and if they turn 2 discard spell I could protect my turn 3 or 4 play. But that is kind of idealistic...

I know it will depend on the deck being played too. I specifically am referring to my RG aggro, but I think burn could consider it maybe cause discard mess with it pretty bad.
