What it does
Target player discards two cards. If you cast this spell during your main phase, that player discards four cards instead.
The hymn's melody has persisted since Tourach's time, but the words changed to invoke the phobias of each listener.

Where it came from
Haunting Hymn was released in 2006 as part of the Time Spiral expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This set was designed by Wizards of the Coast to lean heavily into nostalgia, featuring numerous references to the game's earliest years through mechanics like flashback and a focus on alternate timelines. As a black-aligned sorcery, the card fits into the set's broader exploration of graveyard-themed strategies and disruptive discard effects that had characterized the game's competitive environment during its inception in the mid-1990s.
The card’s artwork was illustrated by Dave Dorman, a professional artist known for his significant contributions to Star Wars and various fantasy franchises. Dorman utilized a dark, atmospheric style to capture the card's function of forcing opponents to discard cards at random. While the card is a functional reprint of the earlier card Hymn to Tourach with an added flashback cost, it is distinctively recognized by players for Dorman’s stylistic departure from the more traditional, painterly aesthetics that dominated the early era of the game.
