Very good card, but the price seems way too expensive. 4 of these and 4 of Duress are just darn too good.
I rate 5 because its one mana + 2 life for any nonland card. I don't feel the 2 life or it being a sorcery a drawback. It being one mana itself for a awesome ablilty is all that matters.

4 Thoughtsieze + 4 Extirpate = Cripple any deck.
Def worth it.

Hype has been fueling this card's price. It is amazing in standard, but in vintage and extended where duress still is playable, this is inferior to it. People will take note of its usefulness in early game only, and the card's price should drop. Good, but overhyped. Go and buy duress instead.

Use this card to discard a huge creature card of your choice from your own hand on your first turn. Bring that card into play with an Animate Dead on your second turn. If your opponent isn't crying at this point, its because they've given up

I think its a touch overhyped - like Tarmogoyf and Garruk.
Still, it can nail creatures, which is worth two life - even in extended. Duress is not as good, even in vintage where you will see a lot less creatures its worth two life for those few creatures you do see - two life is hardly going to make a difference. If you play duress in Type 1/1.5 or Extended why not play 4 of each?
Really, I think its worth least right now where most of the decks are resilient to having to discard a card, and the only real combos out there are heavily protected with counters. If only it were an instant - there would be no contest amongst similar spells.

There is no better early disruption. Although not a staple in every black deck, this has proven itself to be exceptionally great. It loses its usefulness against agressive, fast decks, but wrecks control and combo decks. If you're playing it, the worst it should ever be is a sideboard card.

this card is broken it is lik insane for most black decks and is allot beter than duress because you can get a creature out of their hand unlik duress

Besides being a great card, you gotta just love the art work. PLEASE Troll and Toad, get some foil versions in stock.

Great card. This is going to be a 4-of for every black deck there ever will be.
