Would other elements benefit from this type of mechanic?
I have a few thoughts on some abilities, but  I would rather have the question answered before exploring this further.

Currently Darkness and Aether would stand to gain a lot through Nightmare, Fractal and Mindgate. Darkness causing negative effects for the opponent and Aether causing positive effects for yourself. Fractal and Mindgate both fill up the hand very well, and using the card advantage Aether is so good at for something more would be very, very interesting.

Death is linked to sacrifice of course.. it would make sense that the element could stand to gain from discarding certain cards. A negative effect for your opponent seems the most logical.

...unintentionally I just displayed three ways for this mechanic to work. Your opponent discarding something and losing from it, you discarding something to gain from it, and you discarding something to hurt your opponent.

Aether is the prime Element present in all things, providing space, connection and balance for all Elements to exist.
Aether represents the sense of joy and union, and the ultimate potential of all things.

I think n00b made a Gravity idea for this, which had both strength in either side discarding, since it summoned the creature forcefully.  I'll find it...

EDIT: Can't find it... Hmmm...

The effect of a discard probably should not involve a targeting GUI without considering the cost of such an addition. If it does then we forever sacrifice the opportunity of hostile discarding.

The following 2 effects cannot coexist:
1) "Discard a random card in the opponent's hand"
2) "When this is discarded, snipe target creature"
Reason: You cannot target during the opponent's turn

I am saying we should consider the cost before making a decision on this mutually exclusive choice.
