Thought Distortion is a black sorcery card from the Magic: The Gathering Core Set 2020, identified by card number 117 in the M20 expansion. Released in 2019, this uncommon card features a foil finish, adding a distinct texture to the standard checklist. The card requires six mana to cast and cannot be countered by opposing spells. Its primary effect targets an opponent, requiring them to reveal their hand. The caster then exiles all noncreature and nonland cards from that player's hand and graveyard simultaneously. This interaction provides a decisive advantage by disrupting an opponent's resources and strategy in a single turn. The flavor text, attributed to Eromena the Mind Render, highlights the contrast between physical rigidity and mental vulnerability, thematically reinforcing the card's ability to strip away an opponent's options. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading cards often include this card in their sets due to its straightforward yet impactful gameplay mechanics. The foil variant offers a visual distinction that appeals to those who value the aesthetic presentation of their collection.
