In MTG, you usually discard cards from your hand for a few reasons: when a spell or ability tells you to, if you have more than 7 cards in your hand when the cleanup step of your turn comes around, or due to specific game rules effects that force you to discard. It's all part of the strategy, figuring out what to keep and what to toss!
Honestly, discarding can sometimes help, not just hurt. There are decks built around discarding cards as part of their strategy to win. So, sometimes, discarding is actually a good thing!
