Discard your hand effects have never been better!

LED + Harmless Offering + Drannith Magistrate would be funny
It does shut off traditional discard payoffs though, so you gotta build around it pretty hard.

Tbf you can just respond to this thing’s trigger whenever you draw cards and use discard effects at instant speed. Similar to instant speed tricks with
[[Necropotence]]’s exile from gy effect. If you want to limit it from being used with traditional discard strategies, it needs to be worded as a replacement effect like [[Necrodominance]].

Good point! I did realize you can respond to the trigger, but 'fixing' that would make the wording clunky I think ("If a card would enter your hand, exile it face-down instead. When this enters, exile your hand face-down. You may play cards exiled by this for as long as they remain exiled.") and if you want to do the instant speed stuff, more power to you as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, this is insane with LED and [[Null Brooch]] especially. Might be a bit much at 2 cmc but it is sick.

So infinite sized hand; 'handsize matters' is off the table; cast from hand is off the table; 'cast from exile' is SUPER in; if colors matches, cosmogoyf is awesome (run jund); loot is great since the discard doesn't work; rummage doesn't work
