"search target opponent's library" seems like a pretty awesome thing too

WTMcF? 5 mana to bring out your opponents biggest creature, and then kill him with it, and you really would not care if he kills it, because of the satisfaction of him wasting his destroy spells on his own creatures.

One of my fave victories was when my opponent tapped out using this (knwoing my turn would be used killing it, so no need to keep mana open for counters), and at the end of his turn I used Otherworldly Journey on the stolen Yosei, the morning star.
He scooped seeing I was going to have a 6/6 flyer on my turn and I could use my mana to play Plow Under or Greater GOod etc.

Balanced card, depends on your opponent.
Most of the time will be ok, sometimes it will be really good. Sometimes your opponent might have no creatures. Or in the worst case bribery helps your opponent, if he searches his best creature, and he {brand}s it, {momentary blink}s it or simply bounces it back to his hand.

Definitely the most powerful card in Mercadian Masques, an otherwise mediocre set. For just five mana, you get to seek out and neutralize your opponent's biggest threat... and then beat him in the face with it! At the very worst, it's a two-for-one, since he will be forced to use removal on his own creature. And, as if that weren't enough, you also get to look through his entire library and possibly gain valuable knowledge about which cards you need to be wary of.
In short, this card is completely unbalanced. An easy 5/5 for overpoweredness alone.

You are going to love working with us, so what's your name? Emrakul? That's a weird name.

Mercadian masques had some nice blue cards, charisma is another card that will steal an emrakul if used correctly.

I fear this card, as a green player. luckily, nobody I have played against has this.
If you manage to play against a green deck, all you need is some protection, a way to get this out early, and BAM.

Awesome card. Lets you know what's in your opponent's hand as an added benefit :) (assuming you know their deck)
