This is better than Mind Rot. The fact that the
first discard is random means that an opponent
can't just discard two lands to it, but might
end up doing so anyway. I find random discard
entertaining anyway. Trouble is, this thing
often shows up in The Rack decks that minimize
the importance of the randomness, because the
opponent is left without a hand in three turns
anyway. Much less fun, but a testament to the
power of Stupor
Another black discard spell. Probably the best
discard spell for the value in standard right
now. The main reason this is trumps many other
discard spells in the format right now is the
random discard. Most of the other cards out
right now besides hypnotic specter lets your
opponent decide what they discard while this
spell lets it happen randomly. Its also really
good because its a 2fer 1 spell for 2 cards.

There's not much to say about this card; it's
just cheap, effective discard. Always has been,
always will be. The only things you need to
consider are whether your deck would rather have
a repeatable effect (Hypnotic Specter,
especially with an accelerant) or a card that
sticks around to attack or block (Shrieking
Grotesque). If all you really need is for your
opponent's hand to be empty, it doesn't get much
better than Stupor.
Constructed: 3/5
Casual: 2/5 (Hymn to Tourach is usually better)
Limited: 2/5

This is really good, and that shows you got good
Hymn to Tourach is. For 3 mana, you get a +1 in
card advantage and disruption in a package. I'm
never to sad to see this card in my opening hand
in my The Rack deck.
In casual, the disruption is really great. No
crazy combo and like Ravenous Rat, the discard
makes your opponent unhappy, well this time,
it's twice as unhappy.
In limited, this is advantage and can possibly
take out a bomb.
