What won this card for me is the "from that player's graveyard OR hand".
Admittedly it's costy (plus you have to pay for the spell you've removed afterwards), but the optionality is just so good that I think it's quite fair.
I mean, you can basically use this to make him discard a card that matters (something that'd really be a nuisance to you for example, well you can use it against him now) or just plainly steal something very useful from his graveyard (after all, you're playing with Dimir colors, it shouldn't be too hard to mill your opponent)

It's a great card, as many others have pointed out. It seems that after giving dimir the short end of the stick in Return to Ravnica, they're finally giving it the toys it deserves in Theros.

Solid card, it was very amusing to have this in my hand when my opponent used Steam Augury during the pre-release. He must have been really confused about why I let him take the pile with Dissolve in it, until I played this against him on the next turn to steal it from him.

Could this have been costed at {2}{U}{B}?
It feels like a 5 mana Thoughtsieze with a little Diluvian Primordial/Sepulchral Primordial mixed in there, but that's just me.

What I like most about this card is the fact you can take and cast a nonland permanent. You're not restricted to creatures/instants/sorceries as usual. Nope, this time you're stealing even their planeswalkers. Good!
Sadly, a lot of planeswalkers are on the board by the time you cast this. Awww :(

I would love to discard an opponents Chromanticore with this.
"Wow, look at all the hard work you were doing trying to manafix yourself so you could cast this! Excuse me while I tap just tap these five islands..."

I wish they would of been more specific about types of cards. Like they would say what happens if it worked with instants or sorcery cards, because some people would think that this means they can use some instants and sorcery cards over and over again scot free like fog, searing spear, cancel.

This card is amazing in multiplayer and even has singleton constructed applications.
But I'm so *** sick of seeing it in my sealed pools.
