Monoblue discard. Instant speed discard. I'm yarfin

Who's choice? It's not very explicit.

It is some what implied that it is the target player's choice.

Actually, I assumed it was your choice. It looks like BKM made the same mistake. It's the semi-colon's fault. We normally use semi-colons with the expression "Choose One" that you find on cards like Fever Charm. This is easily solved, however, by just starting the card off with "Target player chooses. Either,"

As an aside, that means this card has a very low power level. Vedalken Entrancer, which is better than this card in five ways (okay... 'human' is a better creature type... but you get the idea) has a Gatherer rating of 1.768 stars.... that's lower than Scathe Zombies (I play 2-star Modern. I have a good understanding of what's kicking around at the bottom of the swimming pool). I assume you don't want to change the abilities, so I suggest making this card a 2/4. And maybe changing the activation to just {u}.

Oh, hey, you can use this on yourself to create your own miracles. I suppose it had something over the entrancer.

­Vedalken Entrancer has a rating of 1.7?! But it was awesome in Ravnica draft, one of the absolute go-to commons for the Dimir mill deck. Hmm... the Ravnica printing has a rating of 2.3, which is a bit better. I guess this was bad in M13 but fairly good in Rav, and a lot of people don't realise how good it was in Rav. Dampen Thought only rates 2.8 and there was a classic Kamigawa draft deck built around that.

This is much worse than the Entrancer though. Could it at least be mill 2 rather than 1? Mill 1 is just so singularly unexciting - it'll almost never make any difference even activated every turn over the course of a whole game.
