Frightful Delusion

Blue Discard Mechanism

New 29 May 2012 Asked by troacctid 3 Comments

Blue recently got Frightful Delusion in Innistrad, Mindculling in New Phyrexia, and Serum Raker in Mirrodin Besieged. So is discard secondary in blue now? Cuz that's a lot of blue discard at common and uncommon.


Discard is secondary at blue but there’s a pretty big gap between primary and secondary in discard.

Somewhere in the questions (they're a lot, so I'm starting to get lost), you said blue had no discard. I'm pretty sure Frightful Delusion falls into the "we're trying but we haven't decided anything yet" area, but don't tell me you've abandoned the idea of blue having discard. I'm still waiting for a blue Unhinge.


Every once in a blue moon, pun always intended, blue gets a little bit of discard but it’s not something we want blue doing much of.

With recent cards like Frightful Delusion, Mindculling and Serum Raker, is discard now secondary in blue?


By R&D’s current definitions, I’d say discard is primary in black and tertiary in blue. There is no color secondary in the ability.
