If I use an ability that makes the opponent discard his first card, he should discard his first card. Period. Unless I can see that the card has Madness, but I don't, do I. If that rule was in paper I'd be telling my opponent all my cards have madness. Unless it's face up on the battlefield it is just a card.

You get a 16/16 flying haste lifelink (and discard your hand) if she lives to your next turn or you 5 matched to get her out. According to my coalition mates this only really works if you have any madness cards in hand. Since madness cards can't be discarded, they still count as discard for Olivia's ability to trigger even with no other cards in hand.

I mean, if you don't discard it's just an 8/8. They should remove the discard condition. And probably give her menace, creatures with reach can stop her which is lame.
