Syphon Mind costs {3}{B}{B} and is a straightforward source of hand disruption in multiplayer games. Each other player discards a card, and you draw a card for each card discarded this way. The spell scales with the number of opponents, turning table talk into card advantage as the game unfolds. In Commander this is a reliable engine for trimming opponent options while you quietly refill your hand.
From the Commander: Modern Horizons 3 printing, the spell sits in black's repertoire of controlled attrition. The flavor text reads When tempers run high, it's easy to lose your head, a reminder that careful planning matters when the board grows crowded. When resolved, Syphon Mind can tilt the resource balance in your favor, making it a practical staple in the right deck.
