oddly specific on the discard requirement, this is new I think they got it from hearthstone. as an instant to draw 2 can be good, or its net 1 card and burn something.
Limited Chaff is Limited Chaff, but instant-speed removal with pure card cycling (with no card disadvantage) for 5 mana can be the game-changer one actually needs in the format. Can also be a overcosted card draw for that one game with nothing to remove but you're durdling draws I suppose.
This is...fine...limited chaff. It's almost a split card, as you can either "Draw 2" for five, or "Draw 2, discard 1 Nonland, and deal 4" - the second mode is clearly the better deal, but sometimes in topdeck mode you won't have non-land cards you are able or willing to part with.
I can't decide if the name is 11/10 or 0/10. It's sure a card name though.

This is just straight up flexibility, if I'm parsing it right.
Draw 2 cards.
- Discard nothing.
- Discard a non-land card and shock something for 4.
If you're in a control match-up and there's nothing to bolt, it's just straight gas. If you're trying to unstuck the board you can boot something (a Jump Start, probably) and take out some of the clog.

I mean it's an instant. "Slightly overcosted Inspiration" is more fair. Inspiration has always been one mana more than Divination to offset the instant-vs-sorcery benefit.
Oh, lol, you actually editted out "Far overcosted Divination" after I read it but before I quoted it. Nevermind.

No worries. I always forget about Divination being sorcery speed that I instinctively check the card every time I compare something to it (if only I remember to check it before I actually post the comment). Meanwhile after that I remember Inspiration exists, except I cannot remember it's called Inspiration. I guess I played too much Limited when the former was around and not when the latter was around (and play neither in constructed formats, and this card goes right into pretty much the same territory as well).

My hypothesis is that this card's name was inspired by name here!...

Love it. Anytime I play it, I will of course say "Fo' shizzle, don't fizzle my sizzle, yo." And then I will win by default when my opponent dies of brain cancer.

Limited use only... as a casual player, I don't see this too great of a card. For what it does, I wish it would cost either 1 less or have draw 3 cards instead of 2, since you'll be losing one if you discard.
I guess if you're trying to get a card into the GY or need a lot of damage w/ a reshuffle, pitch a legendary Eldrazi, it could be playable in Commander. But that's it. I do not see me using this in casual play.
Not a total nerf. You can deny Prophetic Bolt by removing the primary target, but you can't fizzle my hypothesizzle.
I am pretty sure as the card has "target" in its effect that you should have a target while playing it...
Anyone may confirm/invalidate this point?
It uses the new reflexive target method, which means you select a target only after you do the trigger, which in this case is discarding a card. See Glorybringer, which does not target until you decide to exert it, upon resolution of the ability.

Still, it's draw 2 for 5 (enh) at Instant speed (enh?), plus converting a card in your hand into removal. How interesting.

Embedded jump-start fuel. I'm not sure I'd even use it in limited. The plus side is that it's a common, so it doesn't occupy uncommon+ slots.
