Rated at 3... Thoughtseize not only targets any nonland... It targets any player, not just an opponent... For those times you have a card you need in your graveyard...

@Zylo-
Thoughtseize costs $25+. This here is the "real" world, baby
I love this in my UB mill/control deck opening hand to stop early bird attackers and make up a plan. Later on, after opponent has reached +5 lands, it starts losing effectiveness by comparison with blackmail, for example, but still comes in handy to mess with the oponent's head, "do I play this creature right away with no room for answering a mana leak or do i risk getting a Despise and losing it next turn anyway?", which is the real purpose of control magic, I think

@Kariuko: Really? I see it at ~ 15 $ atm. Not impossible to trade for it, especially since Desecration Demon and Nightveil Specter jumped in prices recently. Just wait a bit until the market has been flooded with Thoughtseizes. We may yet see it fall to below 10 $ in a couple of months.

"Target opponent reveals his or her hand. You choose a nonartifact, nonenchantment, noninstant, nonsorcery, nonland card from it. That player discards that card." — MRK1
Not quite the same actually.
You can choose all of those card types as long as they're creature or planeswalker cards as well. For example,
this can make your opponent discard an artifact creature, enchantment creature or land creature card.

A little underrated. Its almost a preemptive doom blade with a the option for planeswalkers. A little cheaper even.
This is invaluable for against aggro creature decks that would otherwise outspeed you if you dont get rid of their big-bad before it hits the table.

Strictly better than Ostracize, but Planeswalkers didn't exist back then.
