Intrude on the Mind — Mind Probe with a Thopter
Intrude on the Mind is a surgical hand selection tool for mid to late game blue decks. You reveal the top five cards of your library then split them into two piles. An opponent chooses one pile to give you which forces a choice that benefits controllers who plan their draws. The Light Play Foil finish gives the art a subtle sheen that looks appropriate on the library scene without distracting at the table.
Use this instant to sculpt your next turns while generating a flying Thopter token as a consolation. The token arrives as a zero zero artifact creature then gains a plus one plus one counter for each card that went to your graveyard this way. The card rewards sequencing and pressure management and sits well in both control shells and combo builds that want a reliable means to exchange cards for board presence.
