Persecutediscard$0.65A powerful black hand-disruption sorcery that attacks an opponent’s resources on a broad scale, similar to Thought Distortion’s role as a proactive discard spell. It is cheaper and can devastate a deck if you name the right color.Mind Twistdiscard$32.90One of the strongest black discard spells ever printed, stripping multiple cards from a chosen opponent and filling a similar control/combo-disruption role. It is much more flexible but has a variable mana cost.Delirium Skeinsdiscard$0.27A budget-friendly black hand attack effect that makes each opponent discard multiple cards, serving the same resource-denial plan. It is far less selective than Thought Distortion but can still punish combo and control hands.Awaken the Erstwhilediscard$0.33A mass-disruption sorcery that empties hands in a black-based control shell, similar to Thought Distortion’s game-ending hand attack. It replaces cards with Zombies, so it changes the board as well as hand size.Dark Dealdiscard$2.74A wheel-style black discard spell that can shred an opponent’s hand and disrupt graveyard setup, overlapping with Thought Distortion’s anti-combo function. It is symmetrical, so it’s best in decks that exploit discard.Myojin of Night's Reachdiscard$4.13A high-end black finisher that can devastate one or more hands at instant speed once the divinity counter is active. It serves a similar late-game lockout role, though it is much more conditional.Breach the Multiverseutility$6.63A large black finisher that attacks graveyards and can swing the game decisively from the top end of a deck. While it doesn’t exile a hand, it fulfills a similar expensive, game-swinging black sorcery slot.Extirpatehate$1.65A one-mana black graveyard hate spell that exiles cards and cannot be countered, echoing Thought Distortion’s exile-and-uncounterable qualities. It is narrower, but very efficient against combo and recursion.
