Oh my God. This is possibly the worst rare ever. 3BB is okay for 5/5. But why does it have such a bad effect. Why is it even Rare?

Well it is a horrible card, but.... there are ways to combo it. :) First, it gives you hellbent, instantly. And when someone plays mass removal and you need cards again, you get the cards back. :) Also, you could play this guy, and then cards which want you to discard your hand as a cost. ^^ Or you play him at instant speed when someone is about to make you discard.
That's at least too much unfortunately. The drawback really is huge - on blue mage standards, an empty mind is even comparable to death :D
I'd have liked a Mini-Wormfang Behemoth with a small variant of the drawback though: A or 2/1 for for example that requires you to exile a single card in your hand would have been really cool! (And just imagine the synergy to cards like Lion's Eye Diamond or Fastbond :P)

Eh, this isn't that bad. Combine it with Ensnaring Bridge and you can stall your opponent for quite a while, that's the best thing I can think of.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I have Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir and Tomoya the Revealer out. I use Tomoyas ability and before it resolves I cast Wormfang Behemot as instant. The result is a new hand with the same number of cards(1 less). Without Teferi I couldn't get it in the right order to have a hand and Wormfang Behemot out. But I don't think the extra 5 Mana would be worth it :-/

Something something NIGHTMARE FISH BEAST something something, and a 5/5 for 5.

Damia likes this guy. Toss him down and have a sac outlet at the ready. After Damia fills your hand back to 7, sac him and enjoy the options. Ensnaring Bridge helps protect you while you have no cards in hand :)

Still a bad card. :)
