A 5/3 for only 3 mana with flaying????? This is like one of the best cards in the dissension series. It also helps you get zero cards in you hand.

Well this card is different, but is possible one of the best cards in the Ravnica block, easily because it can also be used for normal constructed play, even as a massive stick in pure red burn decks, finishing another player in just a few if they let it go unoticed. Expect this to be seen eveywhere and grab them up now whenever you can so noone else can have one (like me lol)

This card is the future of magic.This card is the next Genaration burn and Suicide. I'd like to see what it can do at nationals.( has any one noticed that if you replace the O with an A, you get discard.)

This card is a crap:P There are no hellbent deck in TYPE 2 and loosing two cards for sth what can be burned with lightening helix is a big mistake. In extend and type 1 card like this doesn't even exist in players awareness.

Who sez' this was just goin to be your creature? Besides, know how to protect your avatar if you know how to. It doen'nt have hellbent, but it will help in the deck for other creatures. Try it sometimes. It's still a 5/3 flyer, try to be contented for once.

I, personally, like these kinds of cards. They allow you to play the card if you have Mountain, Swamp, or both on the field. Not only that, but it has flying. That's also a plus. The best part though is it's attack. You can hit fives with flying while you only have 3 lands out. All around, its an awesome card.

ah see this is one of thoes tricky cards,any good player will over look this due to the discarding,on turn 3 or 4 burning to cards for it is a big hit,i mean a lightning bolt (in all good red decks) costs 1 and kills this thing,besides B or R so u throw away power or burn,hummmmmmmmmmm,i say none i pass on this card because only way it helps is if u have a "hellbent" deck which sorry to say are iffy in there own right..any way,only place i see a use for this card on so far as turn 3 is if u facing a straight up white deck with slow play....reds burn owns it,greens power with spider silk armor is pwnage and blacks straight up ability to kill it so....have fun playin around with this crap.

This card is real awsome, the discard effect can be put to use by playing madness costs for cards such as fiery temper to give you a bigger advantage. I'm not sure but referring to the flavor text i would believe that the Avatar of Discord is a male (Keyword his).

This card will empower every single reanimator deck out there. 1st turn drop with rit, then just follow it up the next turn with an exhume, and its game over, have fun dealing with 2 5+ creatures

Very sexy card. Hellbent cam be a very cheap, quick way to give your cards extra power, and Avatar of Discord helps with that a lot, while at the same time being (if you think of the discards as an advantage due to Hellbent and/or madness and/or threshold and/or reanimation effects) an incredibly powerful, cheap card. And to Anonymous from Canada, the "his" in the flavor text refers to Rakdos, as in Rakdos the Defiler, the leader of the Rakdos guild. The flavor text is implying that the Avatar of Discord is the shadow of Rakdos the Defiler. I'd guess by the body shape that the Avatar itself is female.

So first turn, swamp, dark ritual, avatar, discard two good creatures. Next turn, land, exhume creature. Absolutely wonderful in reanimator. Basically a compeltely free flyer that only speeds up your deck by you discarding.

helix and char=death all the non black kill means non red wil have to toe to t it inhe air or counter and losing it = an net card disadvantage of 3 so not to great, if it discarded one card it be ok perhaps constucted usble dont be so hard on psh bolt you dont play things like this in 1.0 or 1.5

Not really good unless it's in a Rakdos deck, somewhat powerful, and will help you get hellbent. Too bad it doesn't have a hellbent ability, that would be awesome.

This card is really sweet a 5/3 flier for 3 mana. It works really well in a madness deck. Every card you throw away you play for cheap. What more do you need?
Granted the 3 toughness is kind of scary because there isn't much worse then making a huge sacrifice and then loosing the card right afterwords. But with this type of power (dealing 5 dmg on turn 3!) it's worth the risk.

I have such plans for this card once shadowmoor comes out. Toss it in a deck with four of the demigod, some buried alives and a few black search cards, before you know it, you'll have a tonne of 5 power flyers hastily kicking your opponent in the junk!
