Rationale

1cmc sorcery—target player reveals hand, you pick a nonland card with mana value ≤3 to discard. Premier targeted hand-disruption in early game; signature in tempo/midrange/combo shells where disrupting opp's hand is key. Anti-group-hug (taxes opp's hand, contradicts give-resources thesis).
