I 4 this. Underrated discarder in conjunction with a black deck.

Protip: Spectre's Shroud does not give shroud.

Deadly in multiples, and on creatures with evasion.

Combos nicely with doublestrike, especially a Kor Duelist

if i attached this to Prodigal Sorcerer and used his ability, would it still work?

@ Noob101: it wouldn't work, as the text specifies combat damage. The Sorcerer would have deal damage through attacking, not using it's ability.

Uh. . . no. Sword of Feast and Famine. Discard should not be the sole purpose of a repeatable effect. Thats' why Scepter of the Fugue and Disrupting Scepter are bad and Guul Draaz Specter and Blizzard Specter are good. It's just mathematically impossible for Specter's Shroud to continue doing anything after a set number of turns. Get your effects in bulk however, and the discard on Sword makes a nice one-two punch in conjunction with the untapping lands.
Best friend in my evasion deck and in my discard deck too !

Something about the art on this card struck me immediately. If I ever got my hands on it, it would go straight into an EDH deck.

Some of you guys couldn't be further from the truth- this is meant for a non-black deck. Think about the color pie:
Fog and Holy Day are cool cards, because they can take advantage of a hasty opponent that thought he was going to win. Darkness, however, is the best variant, because nobody expects damage prevention or any surprise of that sort from a black deck. Concentrate is a terrible card in blue- costs four mana for three cards, and can only be played at sorcery speed, meaning you can't leave your mana untapped on your opponent's turn. However, you swap the color to green, get a Harmonize, and it's the bee's knees. The flavor text might as well read "I bet your hand is feeling parched from playing all those extra lands, and dropping all those creatures, and playing all your boosts. How would you like a medium-costed draw spell in a color that doesn't normally have draw?"
This is no different. This is amazing in a R/W doublestrike deck, or a W/U evasion deck- neither of which have a discard mechanic. Your opponent will never see discard coming from those color schemes. In particular, I like using it on Soltari Guerrillas, along with Banshee's Blade, Psychotic Fury, and Sunhome, Fortress of the Legion.

This is great when equipped to Nether Traitor.
