Are you saying you're going to Force of Will an Inquisition of Kozilek when you don't have anything crucial in your hand?

What other format could it possibly be where you're going to see IoK turn 1? Legacy and Vintage are going to run Cabal Therapy and Thoughtseize instead.

>Force of Willing a discard spell
Do you get off to being 2 for 1'd or something?

If I'm going to lose a 1to1 removal spell either way, why bother spending the mana?
>>48380200
then why are you playing modern
>>48382251
Several reasons.
1) You get to decide which spell you're losing rather than letting your opponent decide.
2) You deny your opponent the knowledge that you have other counterspells/removal in hand and which those are.
3) Your opponent might think that you have an important combo piece, finisher, or sideboard card in hand and try to play around it.

Depends on the format. Vintage? Yes. Any other format? No, why the fuck would i do that?
