NOTES:
Broken rule: "Do not take cards from the opponent's hand."

The cost of the card you steal, if it has a cost, is paid for in random quanta; however, any element-based effects after being paid will not be. So Bolts get powered up based on the amount of Fire/Water/Darkness quanta you have, Flooding still only spares water creatures and costs :water for upkeep, Maxwell's Demon still costs :entropy :entropy, copies of the card made by Fractal don't cost random quanta, and so forth.

This card is incompatible with Sanctuary; you do not get to steal a card with impunity or draw without letting your opponent draw while you have a Sanctuary on the field. Having multiple copies of Candle in the Mirrors still only allows one steal per turn, but you can activate the pseudo-SoBr effect of each copy. Of course, if your opponent's hand is full, the activated ability just draws you cards- and vice versa for the opponent if your hand is full!

Both Fire and Aether work well with this card; Aether could put this into existing Mindgate rainbows and use Silence to deny their opponent their steal-per-turn, while Fire can generate lots of random quanta with Immolation (which the opponent couldn't use nearly as effectively anyway), and it can make a mill deck in conjunction with SoBrs, using the constant to empty the opponent's hand and allow bigger SoBr plays while using the acti to force even more card draws.

I'm excited to make a new card idea again! It's been such a long time!

EDIT: Yes, this lets you see the opponent's hand. :P
