For each opponent, gain control of up to one target artifact that player controls.

Six-mana sorcery-speed theft is far too slow for a one-artifact effect; even versus artifact decks it is much worse positioned than Bribery (32).

Band speculativeConfidence 74%

Could be wrong if A slow artifact-heavy matchup becoming common could create a narrow sideboard experiment.

Legacy 17 Eng.FUsr.

Legacy's mana can cast it, but a six-mana sorcery needing opposing artifacts is too delayed and conditional for credible adoption.

Band speculativeConfidence 77%

Could be wrong if Ancient Tomb-based artifact-control shells or an unusually artifact-heavy field could improve its niche.

Pauper Eng.NLUsr.
Commander 42 Eng.D+Usr.

In multiplayer it can take up to three mana rocks or engines for real card advantage, but six mana and target dependence keep it niche.

Best home Blue artifact-theft decksBand fringeConfidence 61%

Could be wrong if Its value rises substantially if optimized tables retain many high-impact artifacts through turn six.

Limited 24 Eng.FUsr.

In normal one-on-one Limited it is a six-mana, artifact-only theft spell; it can steal a bomb artifact but will often lack a worthwhile target.

Band poorConfidence 31%

Could be wrong if Artifact creatures or premium equipment could be much denser than the incomplete reveal suggests.

Multiplayer artifact theft

“A high-cost, target-dependent theft spell whose multiplayer ceiling does not offset its poor 1v1 efficiency.”

AI prediction made before release — not a measured result. Real performance data replaces this once the set is legal and tournament results come in.
