Ouch. Ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch.

A sorcery speed {b}{2} "Discard a card at random" every turn? Ouch.

Still, he's got his weaknesses, it is only sorcery speed... Probably ok.

Nice combo with the dark ritualist you just posted though.

This is a straight reprint from Mercadian Masques Corrupt Official just dropped from rare to uncommon. It can be strong yes but there are & will be more cards that can deal with it as the rest of the set/block goes up.

And made cheaper. Nonetheless, even as a 5 drop, ouch.

Oops - that's been fixed now Quite a few reprints in black for this set, mainly because I couldn't do the ideas I had any better than the cards that already existed and they were a perfect fit as it was.

Well, it's defending player's choice of whether to take 3 or to lose a card at random. You could think of it as a 3/1 unblockable, with a painful way to block it if you really need to. Latch Seeker is very cheap for 3/1 unblockable, but {4}{b} doesn't seem too bad.
