Mind Twist
Back when I started playing Magic, the only
thing my group knew about Mind Twist was the
name, and based on that we all wanted one. I
don't think any of us ever got one, but I do
have it now and have had a chance to play with
it against it in Old School formats, singleton
formats, and Old School singleton formats. It's
just as scary as the name implies, especially
when you can do it on the first turn. As we
remember from our experience with Mind Shatter,
it's a little less devastating when you have to
get the mana "fairly", although no less
demoralizing. You do have to be a little careful
when using it, because its native environment is
full of things that turn it around, along the
lines of Fork and Deflection.

Mind Twist (5/25)
One of the classic cards
that has been permanently enshrined on the
Legacy banned list, Mind Twist is a powerful
little discard spell that ruins lives. Random
discard is occasionally hit and miss, but being
able to scale Mind Twist up to rip all of the
cards out of your opponent’s hand late game
while still threatening them early means Mind
Twist rarely ever is a bad draw.
Mind Twist is a bit weird:
it’s maybe too powerful to get unbanned in
Legacy, but the overall flattening of power
level means that it may actually get passed over
for Thoughtseize and its ilk. It does do a good
job of ruining your opponent’s day all the same,
though.
