The worst of the Resounding cycle. In late game, it is far from guaranteed that your opponent will have one card in hand, don't even mention two. So it's not worth it to wait to cycle this card. And it's not really worth the mana cost to just play it either. This card is virtually unplayable.

This card SUCKS! I understand that they need to make crummy cards, but WOW this is really bad. One of the worst cards from Shards.

This may be the worst discard card ever. The rest of the Resounding cards are pretty fun but this just plain sucks.
For a hilariously prohibitive mana cost, you too can obtain a Cantripped Hymn to Tourach.

Oh, I get it now. These Resoundings are sort of good in EDH where mana is no object. And Hymn with cantrip is alright vs any control build. Especially if it's uncounterable.

I really like the idea of cards that are better when cycled, I really do, the idea of producing an effect that:
1. Is more difficult to counter, since its an activated ability (when you cycle something, most cards can't counter it) 2. Can be done at instant speed 3. Nets you a card at the same time
..sound awesome! I really do believe that if they wanted to add the flavour and have people still encouraged to play tri-coloured, a cycling cost of {1}{U}{B}{R} would have most definitely made this playable...as is though, cycling for {8}...ugh.

I'll give you a hint: Its mana cost wasn't
Then you get to the cost required to make it happen and that's when this card can *** right off.
