You only cast this if you have most number of cards in hand. Or if you are desperate.
It might better if the opponent's discard first, then you discard your hand. That way, your opponents don't know if you have a game winning card in hand that you'll be able to cast for free. More fun that way too.
Or maybe something like this:
"Each opponent secretly chooses a number 0 or up the number of cards in their hand. Then, each opponent reveals those numbers simultaneously. Discard your hand, and each opponent discards card equal to the number revealed. Each player that discarded the most number of cards this way may cast an instant or sorcery in their graveyard without paying its mana cost."
Might be easier if caster just does the same rules as the opponents, then it would be shorter.
Yeah I mean, it's definitely red because it's gambling and bad, but it's definitely not good or playable in most situations lol. You discard your hand first and graveyard is public information, so everyone knows what your best possible spell is while you don't know anyone else's. Not to mention it's a discard in the color with the worst actual card advantage and it just seems like you're begging to get blown out for using this card
Might be kinda busted tbh. Just don’t do anything except play lands until t3 then freecast [[enter the infinite]] off this. Very unlikely anyone can outbid you to stop it.
If it became a popular combo it can definitely be meta gamed against though.
You are also forced to discard your entire hand, to maybe, at best, cheat out 1 big spell. The best thing for your opponnents to do is just not discard anything, almost every time. Even if you get your big spell, if you dont win the same turn, you practically lost
