Last Rites

Most hand disruption of its era surrendered control of the outcome: Mind Twist drains at random, Hymn to Tourach pulls two cards the dice pick for you. Here the targeting belongs entirely to the caster, scaled one-for-one against the cards pitched from your own hand. You reveal their hand and pluck out exactly the threats or answers you fear, one extraction per card you spent. That trade also makes this a graveyard-feeder dressed as discard. The cards you pay are not gone so much as relocated to a yard the surrounding mechanics were eager to mine, where flashback and threshold turn a spent card into a future spell. So a symmetrical-looking cost wraps an asymmetrical effect: you stock your own graveyard while emptying their hand on your terms. The nonland clause is what reins it in. You can only take nonland cards, so a hand thick with lands walls itself off from your reach, and the spell whiffs entirely against an empty hand. It rewards the attrition deck that was already glad to dump cards, asking you to treat your own hand as ammunition rather than a fixed supply.
