Please just play Hypnotic Specter over this card. Or even Abyssal Specter. Just don't play this card. Ever.

Strictly better than Wood Elemental.

pro: it doesn't need to be unblocked to discard a card
con: too high mana cost - as kajillion said, it should cost 2 less

I'd say this is a 1.5 not a 1.

You have to remember that 1 is for stuff barely bettern than wood elemental and 0.5 is for wood elemental.

I'd take this over an outcast of numai or face of fear any day.

This is pretty bad, even for Starter. For that much mana, I would much rather play a Nightmare.

Turn 6 Chimney Imp :D
I always wondered what would happen if they added 1 mana to Chimney Imps CMC, and this is a beautiful card for it.

This card should have been at least a 4/4.

Nice effect, but OMG the casting cost.

It is pretty impressive that it forces discard simply by attacking, but other than that.......

Haha! Now you can't stop me from discarding your last card! Even though your 5/5 will negate any card advantage I may get whatsoever!

Oh. You were holding an island?

Well, alright then.

1/5

It's a shame that this card is borderline unplayable, because that's one of the coolest illustrations I've seen on a Magic creature.
