Target opponent reveals his or her hand. You choose a creature or planeswalker card from it. That player discards that card.
You have returned from fire, traitor. This time I will see you leave as ashes." -Zurgo, to Sarkhan Vol
I see you aggro. I'm coming for you.
Now all the decks that like disrupting the opponent can have 8 Thoughtseize s... great.

Ohthenoises: Damn, I knew it sounded familiar, but that thought entered my mind after I pressed submit. Oh well.

The art... it burns me...
Nah, but seriously though. Eight discard spells? That's quite a lot.

They're giving Waste Not just enough support to tempt you into using it, but not enough to actually make it viable.

If they reprint blightning, wrench mind, distress, or burning inquiry I'm buying into waste not. Also, don't forget that Duress and Mind rot are standard legal.

16discardspells.deck is going to be such a cool thing. It will be a Pro Tour deck tech, and the player will Top 32.

If they reprint Hymn to Tourach , I'll be in heaven.

black discard is definitely going to be a thing. I'm tempted to buy in and starting testing. With sign in blood, hero's downfall and Liliana Vess? Yeah.

8Rack: The menace of Standard. Now with four less racks.

If a discard deck wasn't viable with Shrieking Affliction standard legal, I don't see it being viable going forward.

Gary could possibly be in there. Duress isn't legal.

Duress and Shrieking Affliction are both rotating. Waste Not might start to see some fringe play in a mono black hand disruption deck, but don't count on it being a significant cog in a tier 1 deck.

I think discard could be played right now with vess and shrieking affliction and thoughtseize and duress and waste not and mind rot with maybe the bog brew trifecta or something but everyone will just dismiss discard now and miss the best time for it with a rack effect in standard. As for Despise I have 2 foil fnm promos from 2 yrs ago and love it. its in my commander deck and I'm still hoping dicard gets a new rack for this block. If it dose my swamps are going to see daylight again.
