Psychic Intrusion

Sorcery3 generic manaBlue manaBlack mana

Where most theft effects steal from one zone, this reaches into two and pays for the reach with information first: the opponent reveals everything before you choose, so you take with full knowledge rather than gambling on the top card or a blind grab. That hand-or-graveyard span is the design's real argument. It punishes the player who tucked a key answer back during a discard outlet, and it punishes the player still holding their bomb, leaving no zone safe to park a single high-impact card. The mana clause that lets you spend any color to cast the exiled spell quietly completes the pitch: a two-color sorcery hands you access to whatever the opponent was building toward, off-color costs and all, so the card you pull never sits stranded in exile for lack of fixing. And the access does not expire. As long as that card stays exiled, the right to cast it stays live; you are not racing a clock, you are holding a permanent option until you choose to spend it. The cost is the honest part: five mana at sorcery speed for a one-shot reveal-and-take is steep, the price of doing your disruption and your acquisition in a single card. Where Thoughtseize and its kin strip a card and drop it in the bin, this converts, taking the opponent's best card and casting it against them.

Rules text

Target opponent reveals their hand. You choose a nonland card from that player's graveyard or hand and exile it. You may cast that card for as long as it remains exiled, and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to cast that spell.
