A classic for black. That said, I really think we can do better. I really hate waiting for turn three. How about:
Shared Torment {BB} As an additional cost to cast ~ discard a card Target opponent discards two cards.
It's offensive, flavorful, and makes black happy because they can put a fatty in their graveyard.

Exact opposite of Divination. More playable than Monomania. Pretty good if you're playing control.

This card is great in monoblack control; particularly mixed with Depise or Distress, since you'll already know their hand.

Like Divination, it isn't terribly good at but would be overpowered if its CMC was reduced by 1. Needs an extra effect.

This needs new art. This guy's eyes have been exploding for 12 years now.

*Sigh*...with how much love white got from R&D during New Phyrexia, I was hoping we'd see Hymn to Tourach reprinted. Oh well. :-(

They should rename this card as 'Brain Fart'.

@Lash_of_Dragonbreath: Well, would you prefer 7th Edition or Portal Second Age?...Yeah, be happy with what we've got.

Considering Blue got Mana Leak to replace Counterspell, it might be fair to give us "Target opponent discards two cards, unless he pays (3)" for BB. Your card is a bit too similar to Smallpox, and probably not as good.

Great art, but the flavor is lacking. Not every thought is a good one? I'm pretty sure the guy being Mind Rotted thought he had some pretty good ideas that he'd rather keep.
