Sometimes, this card is better than Duress or Thoughtseize.... If you're lucky like me, then you randomly force the opponent to discard 2 land cards in the beginning of the game. If Sinkhole is in your hand, you have a big potential to winning the game!

Bazaar of Baghdad and the other destructive cards are now banned... or restricted in the Vintage, but this card is exist dude... I give Hymn 5 stars... it's very broken, esp. with Dark Ritual and Extirpate....

I bring 4 of them in my Pox deck. After Dark Ritual-Duress-Hymn, Sinkhole, then Pox, and Smallpox... the game is so short....

i believe this recently was voted the best MTG common of all time with 'counterspell' coming in second. i play 1.5 monoblack discard and this card is a real linchpin. its been out there long enough that i don't think i need to go on and on. highly affordable too! what i would like to say is that out of the four versions of this card this particular one is the best. i think most people would pick the "dancing circle" but that's just overkill, in this humble correspondent's opinion. go for subtle(you can afford to be with this baby) and classy. the art is terriffic while the flavor text i just glance over. but, as the famous khan quote goes, "revenge is a dish best served cold." highly recommend........
