So,

Mental Imbalance - 2bb
Sorcery
Target opponent may cast a nonland card from their hand without paying its mana cost. Then that player discards their hand.


The spell goes on the stack in the middle of the resolution of imbalance, then imbalance finishes resolving and they discard their hand, and then their spell resolves. So if it's a card draw spell like Enter the Infinite , they'll just refill their hand. Cool

spending four mana and getting nothing out of it doesn't sound very fun

As I understand the rules, only the first sentence is optional. The second sentence happens whether or not they chose to cast a card.

That's sort of it. It's unfun or broken. That's kinda the point.

a lot of players don't like coin flips. there are certainly some that do, and making coin flip cards for them is a good thing, but making them strong or prolific enough to force their way into tournaments is going to piss a lot of people off.

You'll find coinflips are particularly bad in limited; they feel like " This could've been this ."
