Its really good to have nice hate available on lands. I like it, perhaps it will see standard play, but I feel like you really need to be able to tutor it (sylvan scrying)
People will test it in modern but I am not sure it will work, the deck that tutors lands doesn't care about discard decks.
I like the artwork, but that doesn't make up for the lack of enemy shadow lands.

Er, this card is bad. Consider the reality that discard putting cards in your graveyard is seldom a drawback for numerous reasons, but you are also locking up your draw step in the process. Additionally, it is just a colorless land, and not unlike discard spells the utility of this land drops the longer the game goes.
I expect people to shoehorn this into decks and make their mana a little worse in the process for a card that in basically 99% of match ups is going to just be a land that taps for colorless. Also as it is in Standard, this doesn't protect cards against Transgress the Mind, one of the only discard spells seeing play. The upsides here seem marginal to non existent.
Worse Library of Leng on a land. Eh, it's not terrible, I suppose.
The weird thing about it is the timing of this card with the wording it has. With the prevalence of madness effects, they could have printed Leng's wording on a land in SoI, and bumped it to rare and it would have been super good. But this is a fairly weak forced discard meta, so it feels like it will fall flat.
I expect people to be playing Geier Reach Sanitarium in the coming standard, as such, me having this on the battlefield will turn their activations of the sanitarium into tiny brainstorms for me. I am okay with this
I want to use this in a heavy discard shell... Probably something janky with Harmless Offering to give them this card so that I can lock them out of the game. Probably won't ever happen (or be built but still sounds like fun).
Apparently for the same reason every other magic card exists going by all your other posts: for you to be able to diss, mock and negatively compare (to, likely, other cards that in their day you dissed, mocked and negatively compared). We get it, you are the alpha player/designer/storyteller and all the drooling, incompetent babies at WotC should hire you as their new CEO and God to usher us all in a new TCG utopia. You don't need reminds us in every single thread for every single card spoiled.
I'm calling it right now- worst rare in the set. Even good limited players will find better bombs at common and uncommon no sweat. Worst. Episode. Ever.
I really do predict this to be our worst rare in set award winner. I'd be happier opening a jar of eyeballs, so I think anything worse is highly unlikely. This card wont just have zero constructed potential, but not be significantly better than a mass of ghouls in a draft.

StaffWould even main it in noncombo decks instead of things like ghost quarter if my jund MU was hurting.
You are missing Pyromancer on you pic, lololol
Solid card, no idea if it will be good or not but seems solid for Ad Nauseam and glass-cannons who autolose to Jund

For the win!

8Rack doesn't need to worry about this. You're still emptying their hand and stalling them pretty effectively.

Correct. Unless the word discard is in the text, its not discarding.
