A color bend.

Recklessly giving up your own cards is a nice way to make this feel red in addition to the randomness of the discard. And if you are hellbent this is a colorshifted Hymn to Tourach (or worse in multiplayer...). But being hellbent is something red can play into.

As a nerd I like that the reference to Hymn to Tourach also means the musical theme is carried over.

Being predisposed to random discard in red this is a top-notch cad design to me. But you know you don'tget complains about the bleed from me.

Illustration, flavor text and design all match up very well.

Cool.

Any reference to Hymn to Tourach is happenstance (unless it was subconscious), but it made me wonder if I should push it further - like naming it "Hymn to Melkor" or whatever. I'll keep it as it is since I think that reference is likely sweeter because it does it without even really trying / pushing it / by accident.

Love it. And yeah, the subtle reference is better than the blatant one.

You're doing a great job of translating memorable sylmaril bits.

This strikes me more as a color break than a color bend, but I guess it also compares to Wheel effects.

I think the important thing you need to add is

"As an additional cost to cast Discord of Melkor, discard two cards."

Although that lets you choose the cards you discard, it also doesn't prevent you from just wiping the rest of the players' hands in Red without having lost some yourself.
