A lot of Faerie decks already play Thoughtseize. What if we rewarded them for sticking Faeries on their board to avoid any drawbacks from it?

Target player reveals their hand. You choose a nonland card from it. That player discards that card. Then exile a card from your hand if you don't control a Faerie. "You've ruined your life. Let me see if I can put it to better use."
Eh, I wouldn't take this over Duress so why even mention Thoughtseize? You have to either tempo hit yourself by playing a 1-drop so you can play this in T2 and avoid the serious drawback or 2 for 1 yourself in T1. A pretty underwhelming card in Standard, to say nothing of other formats.
Drill Bit vibes. If you can't cast it on turn 1, it's probably not a good discard spell, but the Extra Cost From Hell isn't something people are that desperate to pay.

The only way to make it worth it is if you had atleast one of these in hand/play
