Mind Twist
Oracle Text
Target player discards X cards at random.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Mind Twist is the archetypal hand-warping sorcery: for {X}{B} you force a player to discard X cards at random, a bleak manifestation of black's theme of coercion and resource denial. It best supports control and combo archetypes—use it to neuter answers before you execute a win condition or to finish a tempo advantage by emptying an opponent's grip. For synergy, pair Mind Twist with a reanimation package (Reanimate, Animate Dead, Unburial Rites) or with Madness/threshold cards that benefit when opponents' resources are shuffled into graveyards, and use tutors like Demonic Tutor to find it in key matchups. Deckbuilding tip: include reliable card draw and recursion (Night’s Whisper, Painful Truths, Snapcaster Mage–style effects) so you can pay the mana tax and recover your own hand, and sequence your plays to cast Mind Twist when opponents are tapped out to minimize variance. Timing and follow-up matter more than raw X.
