­Cry of Contrition suggests this can probably cost {b}? I'm uncomfortable that it gives you a 50% ish chance of getting mind rot for B, is that too good?

I feel this should probably cost {1}{b}, as it's kinda 50/50 (more like 40/60) whether this is discard 1 or 2. Cry of Contrition was "one now, one later", which isn't so bad.

OK, for the moment, switched back. I'm worried 1B is a bit weak, since if you spend a card and your opponent discards one, you're basically even, but it's fine for some cards to be a bit weak.

Maybe change it from discard1 , if you win discard 2 to "discard 1, if you win discard 1 at random instead?

on 18 Sep 2012 by Jack V:

Oh, good idea, yeah, I quite like that. In fact, it could well be "you chose nonland card" if you win?

on 18 Sep 2012 by Alex:

I'd say Coercion is an equally valid {2}{b} discard spell as Mind Rot to get if you win, yep :)
