Why does Braids look like Weird Al in this picture?

Because Braids secretly IS Weird Al...

Just kidding. I find this card only useful in heavy discard decks- the kind where your opponent's hand sie will frequently be 3 or less, at which point this becomes a cheap Coercion. Good stuff.

Don't sleep on this - the ability to make someone discard lands can be quite valuable. Also, unlike lots of cheap 1 mana discard spells, this is still good later in the game, when a hand size will likely be low anyway.
