# Thoughtseize (Breaking News) Thoughtseize is one of Magic's most impactful discard spells, and collectors recognize it as a format staple across multiple competitive environments. The Breaking News printing represents a special release variant that appeals to players seeking alternatives to the original Zendikar version and subsequent reprints. Collectors typically value this printing for its distinct artwork and frame treatment, which differentiate it from more common versions. The mythic rarity designation reflects its power level rather than scarcity within the set itself. The foil variant attracts those building premium versions of their decks, though foil Magic cards from special sets can present durability considerations worth evaluating before purchase.
