Great card, whatever format its a devestating drop.
To answer a previous question, he can still only be blocked by flyers, the tenth edition version just has reminder text.
Reminder text is often added to explain keyword abilities for newer players.

..perfect for type1 type 2 discarder deck, when is saw the reprint in m10 , i noticed that some text are not included specially the ones that we can see clearly in 10th ed. version of this one, does it mean that the one in m10 is already blockable??? or its just the same as the old one???

One of the all time great creatures. First turn with a dark ritual, watch your opponent sweat!

Paired with The Rack or Megrim and some hand disruption makes for a formidible deck. One of my favorite cards.

It's much better than abyssal because they have to discard at random, they're not just going to toss a Mudhole (although they're not going to have Mudhole in their deck...).

in my black/blue discard/control deck (with Mind Twist, Megrim, and The Rack), these babies are my main feature. one of the most powerful (overpowered?) creatures on the board, and it melds perfectly with any discard theme. there is really no equal to this beautiful and extremely deadly beast. foes tremble in its presence.

This is one of the best black creatures ever. 1st turn darkritual - cast this. Just keep on attacking and basically your opponent never draws again. Plus it's a cheap flyer. This is way better than abyssal specter and even that's decent.

i give this card 5 stars for several reasons: nuts picture, good casting cost, good abilities, and its easy to get out.
the only thing im annoyed about is all this stuff about how hypnotic specter is a million times better then abyssal, its one more mana and one more toughness and if you're not able to start out with at least 2 mana and a dark ritual in your beggining hand then you suck.

So it's a 2/2 that flies for 3. Great.

Oh wait, when it deals damage, your opponent discards a card from their hand. Wait, hang on a sec; discards a card at random. Why can't WotC make cards like this anymore?

What can I say about my good old hypnotic specter? This card has the perfect casting cost, a 2/2 flyer for 3 mana, right on the mana curve. It's ability however, is what makes it so special. The random discard easily tops the ability of Abbysal Specters and the other imitations. A first turn Hypnotic Specter via dark ritual can force opponents to discard some of their best cards before they have the mana to play them. Megrims also help out this creature, effectively doubling the damage it deals to the opponent.

Have you ever seen your opponent smiling when you put a specter into play on the first turn ??

play with this in my 1.5 mono black deck. i notice that this is typically rated five stars but i just can't personally justify that. its a harder card to play than people say. sometimes you don't want to 'dark ritual' and 'h. spector' just because you can. i play this in a discard deck with 'cabal therapy', 'duress', and 'hymn to tourach', and the new card(now) 'distress.' usually one of these spells will dip a toe in the water to check it out and then if its safe the 'ole hypie will come out. also can't give it the highest rating because it doesn't combo very well with other creatures and its two black in the mana cost sometimes hurts it(and i play monoblack!). don't want to diss on it too much though because, in conclusion, i recommend it highly if your a good player....
