As of Origins, Oust-type effects are exclusively blue, according to Rosewater anyway. As such, I assumed this effect would be blue as well -- I'd completely forgotten that Lost Hours was even a card.
Honestly, I should probably just make this a Thoughtseize reprint. It's Ashiok's signature spell. Or Tormented Thoughts I suppose. My main reason for making this card was to have a few spells associated with Ashiok in this set, and I wanted a few of them to be blue since all of his associated cards in the past have been black. Ashiok's Masterstroke satisfies the need for a blue spell with his name on it, even if the effect it provides is a bit out of his usual bailiwick.
Alex is right. This is quite black.
This looks white or black to me. Painful Memories, Agonizing Memories... in fact this is exactly Lost Hours but at 1-mana rare rather than 2-mana common.
Still trying to figure out how to build discard into the card without making the card too busy, since discard isn't a major theme until the next set while this guy has to go into this one.
Then again, I guess I could just put more +1/+1 counters into the set as enablers?
