What it does
Trample, haste
Whenever this creature deals damage to a player, that player discards all the cards in their hand, then draws that many cards.
Fervid shamans willingly submit to shockers in hopes of glimpsing the fortunes of the future.

Where it came from
Barbed Shocker was released in 2006 as part of the Time Spiral expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The set was designed to celebrate the history of the game by featuring mechanics and characters from earlier eras, blending them with modern design sensibilities to create a sense of temporal instability.
The card was illustrated by Greg Staples, whose work often captures a dark, kinetic energy fitting for the game's creature designs. In the context of Time Spiral, the Shocker represents a callback to the original Sparksmith and Shocker creatures from the Odyssey block, intended to create high-variance, aggressive play patterns that force players to cycle through their decks rapidly.
