OK, now I'll react.
Without delirium, it's potentially weaker than a 1B card that allows you to choose what your opponent discards, but it can hit lands.
With delirium, it's actually an easier to cast Hymn to Tourach, which could get pretty crazy.
Also, I'm amused that they didn't reprint Inquisition of Kozilek in Oath of the Gatewatch due to it not being devoid, but here we have a non-devoid Eldrazi-flavored discard card.

You know what, this actually feels like a reasonable card. It won't be Turn 1/2 "Oops, you lose the game" like Hymn could often be but it can instead be the much more reasonable (but still powerful) later game Hymn where you 2 for 1 the opponent and can hit anything (including mostly useless unplayed lands).
The most common way is to shuffle your hand, lay in on the table, assign a number for each card (or odds/even if it's just 2) and roll a die for it.

Correct, the point at which Hymn is completely OP is basically turn 1 (probably with Dark Ritual).
It's still a great card in constructed because with Delirium its a cheap 2-for-1 and if you cast it early enough you can hit their land drops.
Oh wow, Bosh and Kiki-Jiki got a whole lot more interesting!

Yeah figured something like that. Thanks

The card is bad unless Delirium is active, and you won't have that early enough for this to be a broken card. But it is a cool little callback.

Best MTG art
or bestest MTG art
Hymn to Tourach is 2 mana 2-for-1, its still a good payoff even if you can't reliably use it to force your opponent to discard his land. Delirium's problem is paying off Delirium and the best thing you could previously get is a) not dying to Mindwrack Demon and b) enabling Traverse the Ulvenwald, which could rarely actually find anything better than another Mindwrack Demon.

Hah, I didn't notice the blood around the cat's mouth and the bite mark on the guy's right hand. Also, it's easier to see the weird back right leg and what exactly the tail is.

Exactly. The problem with Hymn is it can rip an opening hand to pieces before a player even has a turn or, at least, before they can do much of anything. This will take more work and time to get going so it's powerful without bringing me back memories of the 90s.

Geier Reach Sanitarium seems pretty cool for EDH.
Unless you care about discard there's
already.
But the new land is surely gonna be awesome with waste not decks.

Delrihymn is a card I'd much more likely keep in the board as opposed to maindeck unless I had a bunch of open slots. I think the point of a Delirium deck is enabling Traverse the Ulvenwald fetching Emrakul, the Promised End and windmill slamming that card on the table.

based on the Kanjis used in the japanese version? It's hard to say how it's pronounced without the "ō"s and such.
Simply Sarah

You don't need a Japanese version. You can get the (Japanese) pronunciation from the English name. Mi is me and kokoro is, uh, kokoro.
Mi is pronounced "Me" in Japanese. Mai is "My".

Turn 3, discard your whole hand? I'm ONE card off Delirium, let me just plop down Mindwrack on Turn 4. Mono Black Control gonna be NUTS
goddamn that wolf mech looks amazing haha. I love the design, it's totally some shit out of like Battletech or something

Hmm, 2-for-5. I guess that could work.

BEST CARD IN THE SET
(It's from a Podcast reveal video, so I had to use the snipping tool to get the card image)

Time to blind-draft (i.e. 0-1 drop) Shards of Alara draft!
Hooly shirt one of my favourite draft formats of all time. Let's go godsires!

Can't humans dump their entire hand by then?
I'd assume you'd aggressively mulligan for Languish against MWH

Grapple with the Past is pretty good, and has sad flavor, with the girl trying to reconnect with her previous self.
Earlier in the thread (or maybe the Penny Arcade thread), someone complained about how having so many references to previous cards makes the set feel unoriginal, but I like them a lot.

I notice that guide has what appear to be prototype logos for SOI and EDM.
EDIT: Also, the Eldrazified Falkenrath Aristocrat looks a lot like Elesh Norn (white Phyrexian praetor).
Everyone seems to love Bant but it's not my preferred strategy. Two Bant Charms though!
I like how the SOI symbol looks like it transitions naturally into the EMN logo. Then they changed it to be more Avacyn's symbol. (The symbol of her church, which werewolves hate)
