Ideally, you can sneak a peek at your opponent's
hand the turn before playing this, maybe with
Brainbite, and guarantee a smack at your
opponent. But more importantly, even if the
damage portion of the card fails, you still get
to eliminate all copies of any card you deem
problematic. This will almost never hit an
opponent for anything more than 3 unless you
Soulquaked last turn, but it eliminates the card
that you just can't answer any other way. Even
in Limited, where this type of effect tends to
be sub-par due to people not having as many
copies of anything, this can snatch that bomb
you saw in Game One before they can drop it.
Sometimes a card like this is just what you need
- no subtlety, no tricks. Just aim it at your
opponent and watch what happens. Well, the one
trick to it is naming the right card, but you
usually can't go wrong with your least favorite
card. Usually. Just make sure you pick one
that's legal in the format you're playing!
Welcome back today’s card is an interesting B/R
card that takes Cranial Extraction adds a bit of
Incinerate and bam spices it up a notch. Thought
Hemorrhage nullifies any strategy or play
reliant on a specific card, allowing B/R decks
to burn an opponent while actively removing some
of their key nonland cards. If you know what
your opponent is playing you can actively
disrupt their strategy perhaps leaving them
entirely vulnerable. Nullifying combos is also a
nifty trick removing their key pieces and view a
glimpse of their hand allowing you to plan
accordingly. In current constructed formats this
card could see play in Standard and Extended as
a sideboard card for R/B decks, I feel it could
be considered a must use as when you know what
your opponents playing you can remove key cards
as well as being able to burn them for a
respectable amount. Casual and multiplayer
rarely rewards you for punishing a certain
player for playing select cards, unless a player
has a card in his hand you must deal with or
some broken combo piece Thought Hemorrhage
doesn’t hold its weight. Limited this is jank as
you will most always never know what is in the
opponents hands unless your packing a fair
amount of removal skip this card or grab it for
your collection. Tune in tomorrow for a beast of
a card that isn’t a beast at all…stay tuned!
