The Dark Eldar card, Power From Pain has a Combat Action that states for your opponent to discard an army unit if able. Who decides which card is sacrificed? The person who plays the card or the opponent?

[CommissarFeesh 458]

"Your opponent sacrifices" means they choose. And it's scarifice, not discard (important distinction).

[Killax 249]

As Commissar pointed out, your opponent choses, which means it still is a great card but not targeted removal.

Thank you!

Its not a great card yet, but once we play it with Urien Rakarth it will certainly be so.

 

Optimum use, I think, will be to kill off the weenies and chuds first, then throw out multiples of them, all the time generating Khymera tokens and untapping your Hypexed Baleful Mandrake.

Well I think it allready is a fantasic card in the early game, in special when you don't have a constructed deck yet you can really have mayor losses once the card hits the board.

It is a fantastic card if you are card choking - so he can only play 1 medium/high cost unit per turn/every other turn..

For sure, regardless I think it's an excellent card even better with the newer Dark Eldar Warlord, which ensures you cannot really drop 3-4 costed units at the first deployment which really benifits the Dark Eldar initial command struggles.

As Prepare for War said, it works great once you kill the weaker units, then hit your opponent with this, forcing a sacrifice of a better unit. This card looks better all the time. At first, I thought it would be one of the first things discarded when better stuff came along, reason being that it gives your opponent the choice. But that is turning out to not be the case.

[Killax 249]

Great point Titan, the only downside of this card is that it's relevant when you are in the same situation as your opponent or currently have an advantage on your opponent. When your behind cards, resources and thus often units, you'll see that the impact of this card is not enough when your behind for a turn or two.
