depending on what's in their hand, it can be amazing.
Time Stretch? hell yes!
Din of the FireHerd? that's all their lands pretty much wiped, seeing as you're playing with a red deck.
of course if their hand happenes to contain a plains, an artifact and a creture, you've just wasted a spell.
its that all or nothing strategy that red is famous for.

Might be sexy in an EDH deck.

So... What if you target this spell with a counterspell from your opponent's hand? Because the rules text said that the card stays on the stack while the copy is being cast...? My brain hurts.

If only sorcery cards could be tapped! I'd make some kind of immature reference... <:(

As a card it's hardly the best steal spell around. By turn 5 or 6 your opponent's hand may not have any good instants/sorceries (if any at all). Red has a ton of other instants or sorcery cards that you could cast multiples of for the cost of this card. Now as card art, it's something else entirely. When Greg Hildebrandt was designing this card he must have been thinking "I'm going to go with artwork that will make every MTG player who doesn't have a girlfriend to suddenly want one."

This is an interesting card because, it allows Red to Peek into an opponents hand. This ability on the color pie is usually given to Blue and Black but strange for Red. The other part of this card lets you cast their best sorcery or instant spell.
I see this being good against, Blue, Black, and other Red decks. Most Green and White decks are more creature focused so this card tends to fizzle against them.
And last, the art is awesome. The vulshok shaman is very beautiful and goes to show us that even Red mages can be attrative and deadly at the same time.

Ehhhhhhhhh, nerds easily won over by mammary glands. I'd like the art more if she didn't suffer from a debilitating condition called "smallface" which afflicts a lot of large-breasted fantasy women. Pity, most of Hildebrandt's stuff is excellent. I guess we all have off-days.
I think the best home for this card would be in Izzet colours. You can have Telepathy in play to judge the right moment to strike; and, hopefully, you can have a Goblin Electromancer or two to make this cheaper.
