This damn card... I loaned my buddy a Garruk Primal Hunter and I'm pretty sure some jerk stole it while searching his deck with this. Not bad for three mana.

exile the card face down, if you can pay its casting cost then you could play it. and if you play it, its gonna be there on the battlefield under your control. thats it, theres no more copies you cannot cast it again.

HA! using this with surgical extraction is such fun. you look through their deck using one, and then exile/take over whatever u want from the opponent. The people i play against HATE it, but i love :)

Why is it that the first thing I thought when seeing this was "Whee, mono-black land fetching!". There's something wrong with me.

First things first: If you plan to use it for land fetching, it's completely useless. Why? Because it doesn't let you play the stolen land any faster than normal. Why put this in your deck and spend three mana to get access to a land, when you could have just put a land in your deck instead? If you don't find anything else to take, I guess you'll can take a land as a last resort, but don't consider it a bonus, consider it cutting your losses.
Concidering that there's a lot of phyrexian mana cards and powerful artifacts around, I think the chances for finding something castable is decent. Haven't tried it extensively yet though. I can't shake the feeling that whatever I steal is what I should have put in my deck in the first place instead of this.
Looking through the opponents library can be very useful, but one card and three mana is too expensive unless it's part of a bigger plan.
I don't think this is meant as a competitive card, I think it is made for the casual cro... (see all)

Why would any black EDH deck not run this?

Ridiculously powerful card. Let's you trade a sorcery for anything better. Though it's always fun to have my opponent steal my best creature, followed by me bouncing it back to my hand with Into the Roil. It is cards like this though that make Shadow of Doubt one of the most effective counterspells. They outright lose a card, and you gain a card.
