This works wonders with all the other cards that trigger if you opponent causes you to discard it; combined with Chain of Smog and even Dream Salvage.

Ok, now they all play rats and augurs in black decks, so how about a 5/5 on turn 2, not bad? are you kidding? it's great...play those rats again, i have another one in my hand :)

a bit overlooked and quite playable. even in the format i play which is 1.5. but for four mana an excellent investment , even in your sideboard. and very affordable in the foil version as of this writing. recommend..........

Too conditionary for me. But then again, I don't play sideboards.

Do you hate those annoying black decks that make you discard half of your cards? Watch what those fools say when they try to make you discard one of these guys. Put four of these in your sideboard, and the next time you find one of those people who love to play discard cards, you'll show them whats what. From then on they'll think twice about playing hymn to tourach or another such card. See this card is fairly medicore at 4 colorless for a 3/3, but if someone tries to discard it you immiediatly put it into play as a 5/5. Now how cool is that??
