Greel, Mind Raker

Discard as a weapon, priced by attrition: every activation costs two cards out of your own hand, plus X generic mana and a single black, to strip X random cards from someone else. The two-card pitch is the catch. Many creatures built on the same shaping principle asked for one card per use; this one demands two, framing a symmetrical-looking exchange that is anything but, because your discard is deliberate and theirs is random. That math is the whole story. To make the card profitable you need a hand full of cards you wanted to discard anyway (graveyard fodder, recursion targets, threshold enablers) so the two-card tax becomes a cost you were already paying. Played with cards you actually need, it bleeds you out faster than it bleeds the table. What redeems the rate is timing: the ability has no speed restriction, so the natural window is an opponent's draw step, tapping to strip the card they just drew before they can ever use it. That turns each shaping into targeted theft of fresh resources rather than a blind raid on a stocked hand, and it punishes topdeck-reliant strategies hardest. The tap symbol caps the engine at one shaping per turn, but the instant-speed reach is what makes this a resource war waged across many turns, and it only works if your deck is built to lose cards on purpose.
