Shimian Specter

Hand disruption that hits not a card but a name. Where most discard takes one card from where it lives, this Specter reaches into every zone the opponent owns (hand, graveyard, and library) and exiles every copy of whatever you point at, then shuffles away the dig. Connect with it once and you can erase all four copies of an opponent's removal spell, their combo piece, or their only out, leaving them to draw from a deck that no longer contains the answer. The effect is closer to surgical four-of removal than to a peek at the hand. The body is the constraint that pays for it: a 2/2 flier that has to land a combat hit before any of this happens, which means it must survive a turn cycle and connect through the air, a tall order against a deck that knows what it threatens. That gap between the size of the payoff and the fragility of the delivery is the whole design. It descends from the evasive Specters built around the combat-damage trigger, Hypnotic Specter chief among them, but where those traded for a card, this one revokes a strategy. There is a wrinkle worth reading: the choice is made from the revealed hand, so the best target is a name you can see, valued not for that single copy but for every other copy lurking in the deck behind it.
