New card idea . . .

[FadingInsomniac]

OK don't kill me if this already exists (I'm a newbie and don't know very many cards) and this would cause some confusion among card-owners, but what about a card that lets you steal a card from the other player's hand in exchange for a card that you give them?

Hmmm, I would guess the problem would lie in how would you know if your opponent has cards you want to take? And in your colors? Unless you're playing with Glasses of Urza or Telepathy or something... I think that was the problem with Grinning Totem; your opponent rarely had a card in your color that you wanted.

Nice idea though... it just has to be worked out.

MINE!! (or something)

Look at target opponents hand.
Choose one: Remove target card from the game, or move target card from opponen't hand to your's.

Think about it:
Morphling
Rishadan Port
Treachery
Bargain
Vampiric Tutor
Masticore
Powder Keg
Grim Monolith
etc, etc, etc.

This card would have decks built around it.

Anyway, I think it's a good idea.

Are you now considered the "owner" of the card? Or is the "owner" still the opponent?

 

[FadingInsomniac]

OK, here's an example of someone using this card:

Player A has a Counterspell and some other cards in his hand. Player B uses the card, and Player A doesn't counter it. B takes A's Counterspell, and then next turn A puts down a card B wants to block. B uses the Counterspell he just got to counter it, and BOTH go into A's graveyard. Everyone clear?

It works good in this situation, but the chances of you and your opponent playing the same colors are pretty slim. Most of the time, it'll just be an expensive discard spell, because you can't use the card you take.

Daenen,

I really like "Mine"

How about this version?

MINE!!
3BU
Sorcerery, Uncommon
Look at target opponents hand. Choose a card. Put it into
play under your control.
"Thanks, I needed that."

Caveman

 

[FoundationOfRancor]

Caveman: What if it is a non-permanent card? Put it into play as if you had cast it? I really like this card its balanced and everybody loves to streal cards.

 

[linsivvi]

Sorry peoples, I clicked on the wrong thread without looking

 

[Captain Caveman]

Good point Foundation. I'm not really sure. How about this:

MINE!!
3BU
Sorcerery, Uncommon
Look at target opponents hand. Choose an artifact, creature
enchantment or land card. Put that card into play under
your control.
"Thanks, I needed that."

FadingInsomniac: I was just trying to be clear because whenever you trade cards with your opponent, confusion arises. I mean, look at the wording for Jinxed Idol and the black Agent card.

Capt. Caveman: I like your version (although it's not exactly what FadingInsomniac has in mind).

 

[Captain Caveman]

FadingInsomniac,

I can't think of any way to make the type of card your
talking about.

What about this instead.

Command
Rare
1BU
Instant
Look at target opponents hand. Choose a card. You may
play that card as though it was in your hand without
paying its casting cost. Loose life equal to that
cards total converted mana cost.
"You will do as I say"


You could play any card in their hand reguardless of
what color your playing.

I like thyat idea caveman, I think the casting cost should be higher though. Maybe BU2? or 3?
