Hypnotic Specter
Oracle Text
Flying
Whenever this creature deals damage to an opponent, that player discards a card at random.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Hypnotic Specter is a classic black tempo threat that turns a small evasive body into a persistent source of resource denial. A 2/2 flier for three mana is already respectable, but the real strength is the random discard trigger, which can steadily strip answers, combo pieces, or lands from an opponent’s hand and force awkward play patterns. It fits best in disruptive midrange or tempo shells, especially decks that can clear the way with removal or pressure life totals early so the Specter can connect repeatedly. Pair it with effects that grant evasion or protect it—such as equipment, discard spells, or removal that keeps blockers off the table—to maximize combat hits. In draft or slower constructed environments, it shines when the opponent’s hand matters and card quality is high; in multiplayer or topdeck wars, the random discard becomes less reliable but still punishing.
