wotc1 Oct 2009
The ability can only target an opponent of the current player.
wotc1 Oct 2009
The targeted player controlling more lands than the current player is a part of the targeting requirement. A player can't be targeted by this ability unless it's true, and the ability doesn't resolve if it's no longer true at that time.
wotc1 Aug 2008
Shuffling the library is part of the optional effect. The player only shuffles if they chose to search.
wotc4 Oct 2004
The land card enters under the current player's control.
wotc4 Oct 2004
Because the "search" requires you to find a card with certain characteristics, you don't have to find the card if you don't want to.
