In here it also have some little synergy with the discard theme and Liliana's Caress. Recoil: I don't why but I like this card. And finally when our combo goes off they are good for emptying the opponent's hand. Also they are great for many combo decks. Duress + Inquisition of Kozilek + Hymn to Tourach = Protect your combo pieces and/or yourself from any unwanted spell by making opponent discard it before he has a chance to cast it. Anvil of Bogardan + Liliana's Caress = Every discard cost opponent 2 lifes and Anvil make him discard every turn. Since we have lots of instant/sorceries in the deck, in late game those two can be a great finisher. While having Flying + Deathtouch + First Strike at the same time it can kill pretty much anything without dying. (you know the rule, nobody can cast anything in the draw phase) Baleful Strix + Runechanter's Pike = Baleful is a great card by itself but if you equip it with Pike it will became the ultimate blocker.

Beauty of this combo is all triggers happening in draw phase so opponent can't cast the new drawn spell even if it is an instant or have flash. And you get an extra card in every opponent's turns. So he can not get any new spells unless he lose an old one. Notion Thief makes him skip the extra draw. It's been around $5 even before the reserve list madness which speaks to the steady demand for the card, and it's never going to go down.Anvil of Bogardan + Notion Thief = Anvil makes opponents draw an extra card and discard a card in draw phase. This isn't to say that Leovald will create a run on Anvil, but it's an excellent spec because it's reserved and is a versatile card that works in numerous shells. But in experienced playgroups this is less of an issue, and there will always be a market for cards with imprisoning effects that change the parameters of the game - they're what I love most about magic and I'm far from the only one. Prison and similar strategies are unfairly stigmatized because so many players come to EDH expecting to be able to assemble their degenerate battlecruiser combos unchecked and get frustrated when they actually have to think and build around shells specifically designed to shut them down. What is most fun in EDH is having a variety of strategies to interact with rather than having every player racing to assemble their individual busted combos. Almost every build I play in my playgroup uses some kind of asshole control strategy and while my group doesn't always like being on the receiving end of it, they tolerate it and just joke about my decks being 'ebola'. I disagree about prison strategies in EDH.
