unfortunately you do not get to play the card itself or let the opponent discard the chosen card. additionally, isn't six mana a bit costy compared to the selection you get? but well, the artwork and flavour text are nice ;)

depending on what's in their hand, it can be amazing.
Time Stretch? hell yes! Din of the FireHerd? that's all their lands pretty much wiped, seeing as you're playing with a red deck. of course if their hand happenes to contain a plains, an artifact and a creture, you've just wasted a spell.
its that all or nothing strategy that red is famous for.

Horrible card. You need an opponent with cards in hand. Then he must have instants or sorceries in hand. Then if he has instants your opponent could play them in response to this spell. And if this spell resolves and your opponent has still sorceries or instants in hand, then they must also be cards that make sense when you play them (no counterspells or similiar). And then the card even ain't discarded or something like that.
This card is just plain horrible.
If you like such effects, play planeswalker's mischief instead. Costs one more to play and activate, but it also discards the card and can be used each turn and as often as you got mana.

Seems like "Target card distracts opponent while you steal their Chee-tos" should be written on it instead.

So... What if you target this spell with a counterspell from your opponent's hand? Because the rules text said that the card stays on the stack while the copy is being cast...? My brain hurts.
@CrazyLou, I like the way you think. I think, though, that what happens is this: 1: You cast this spell, putting it on the stack. 2: While this spell is resolving, you cast the counterspell from their hand, targeting this. The counterspell goes on the stack. 3: This finishes resolving before we look at the stack again. When it finishes resolving, it goes to your graveyard. 4: Counterspell tries to resolve. However, since it no longer has a target, it is itself countered, and has no effect (including any extra effect it might have-- Like, if the counter you used was Mana Drain, you wouldn't get any mana from it).
Net effect, you've spent and a card to look at their hand, and nothing else ended up happening.

This card is awesome in EDH.
Head Games someone and copy whatever Revelation or Telepathy or any other card that makes players or more importantly opponents play with hands reveled.
Also... you can choose a card and copy it, no matter what according to the oracle. Even if they attempt to cast it, Reversal of Fortune is still on the stack when they revel their hand and after you choose what card to copy. There is that small amount of time when you pass priority after casting Reversal I guess that they could empty their hand.

How have I not seen this card before? The hilarity. The hilarity!
And the boobs. That too. But still, even sans art the flavor text is hilarious and the potential to really hurt an opponent, especially an enemy burn deck, is so appealing to me.

Now we have Mindclaw Shaman, so the only thing left to do here is comment on that Vulshok's hawtness. Which is fine by me.

The flavor and storyline behind this card is so compelling. Also, not that great of a card, considering you can, say, pod into Mindclaw Shaman
As far as the card's actual effects go, I say sideboard material. It's good if you know what your opponent's about to throw at you ("Memoriciding MY library? For shame!"), but it's not a reliable maindeck option. It's also rather expensive; at 6 CMC you might as well be playing dragons.

As a card it's hardly the best steal spell around. By turn 5 or 6 your opponent's hand may not have any good instants/sorceries (if any at all). Red has a ton of other instants or sorcery cards that you could cast multiples of for the cost of this card. Now as card art, it's something else entirely. When Greg Hildebrandt was designing this card he must have been thinking "I'm going to go with artwork that will make every MTG player who doesn't have a girlfriend to suddenly want one."

This is an interesting card because, it allows Red to Peek into an opponents hand. This ability on the color pie is usually given to Blue and Black but strange for Red. The other part of this card lets you cast their best sorcery or instant spell.
I see this being good against, Blue, Black, and other Red decks. Most Green and White decks are more creature focused so this card tends to fizzle against them.
And last, the art is awesome. The vulshok shaman is very beautiful and goes to show us that even Red mages can be attrative and deadly at the same time.

Ehhhhhhhhh, nerds easily won over by mammary glands. I'd like the art more if she didn't suffer from a debilitating condition called "smallface" which afflicts a lot of large-breasted fantasy women. Pity, most of Hildebrandt's stuff is excellent. I guess we all have off-days.
I think the best home for this card would be in Izzet colours. You can have Telepathy in play to judge the right moment to strike; and, hopefully, you can have a Goblin Electromancer or two to make this cheaper.
