Are we sure that S.N.E.A.K. is a spy agency, not a thieves' guild? Because it feels like the bulk of their cards thus far are dedicated to finding novel ways to steal your opponents' stuff.
(I'm not complaining at all - that's probably my favorite piece of the UB color pie. It's just a bit flavorfully odd.)

Well, the 'K' does stand for "Kidnapping" so it seems to check out
All in all, I like this card, but it just feels like it is too "vanilla" for an un-card. I mean, I know it lets you steal a card and put it into your hand that your opponent controls, but Gonti, Lord of Luxury and Sen Triplets already exist. It does play into some interesting space though.
Yeah, it's only barely Un- but I do like that it's stealing at uncommon. It's expensive as sin, but it steals any non-land card (no stealing tokens). So it's unconditional removal in blue for Indestructible creatures, PWs, etc., that gives you the card.
A bit curious this is monoblue-
I wonder if they would ever be daring enough to make the (also monoblue) exile version that could actually be printed in BB?

Hostage Taker is the closest black border can get to this since in black border you cant put your opponents cards into your hand.
BLACK BORDER THIS. PLEASE.
To make this black borderable they would have to remove the " Put into your hand part" and change it to "exile target nonland permanent"
The best we have is Hostage taker, Praetor's Grasp (hidden gem in edh by the way.) and Grinning Totem.
Gosh, someone really needs an excuse to walk away with an opponent's cards by "accident" ;P
Is it always this pedantic around here?
Yeah, because I'm a conniving thief!
