Use it to take a planeswalker, usually they have a minus ability that will kill them if they are low enough, or just let them reach ultimate then take'em.

I thought this was silly at first, but I don't know what I was thinking then. It takes cunning to use effectively, and effective it is- even if I don't have anything to kill 'my own' permanents with. 5 mana is definitely fair.
...and split second is the power of the gods...

Note that not only is this a versatile card for stealing your opponent's stuff, if you're playing a deck that ramps mana up for big spells (such as a {G}{R} deck) this card can also be used in a pinch to:
1. Give one of your own creatures haste on your own turn (albeit for {3}{R}{R} mana
2. Act as a combat trick and untap one of your own creatures to block one of theirs (or even better, get one of their utility creatures to block their own assault)
Lots of uses for a card that is essentially un-counterable. Also, use it with Bazaar Trader to permanently seize the permanent.

Finally I can steal their stormcrow to block their storm crow and they can't counter it with their force of will tossing a storm crow

Very good.
As mentioned, there is more to this card than "I steal your fatty and hit you ha ha ha.".
Though that wins games too.
Also, love the art.
I like how the "before" section's wing still joins with the "after"'s angel.
4/5

Every card in Time Spiral was a throwback to at least one previously printed card.
This card references Threaten and similar temporary theft cards in red and is uniquely the only one which can steal any permanent!
