Brainbite

Alara Reborn (ARB) #18 · Common · Sorcery

Mana cost: {2}{U}{B}

Target opponent reveals their hand. You choose a card from it. That player discards that card.
Draw a card.

An Esper mage will leave a hole in your memory with surgical precision. A Grixis mage sees no reason to be so kind.
