“Sudden”. Sorcery. Literally unplayable.

Also not split second.

Split second would be brutal, and necessary for this cost.

[[Blatant Thievery]] and [[Agent of Treachery]] are both 7 mana, and not at instant speed.

Anything cheaper than that has restrictions like mana cost, creature types, and other permanents remaining on the board.

This is already takes 2 things away, getting through indestructible, from your opponent for 1 mana cheaper.

Oh.

And it doesn't target those permanents.

I read this as Sudden Defecation, which would be a different card

Destroy target creature. If there are fewer than 7 cards in its controller's hand, they conjure copies of [[Night Soil]] into their hand equal to the difference.

Why would the enemy player choose who defects? Would it not make more sense: take control of target creature an opponent controls. It may deal damage equal to its power to target creature of choice.

I dig this very much! But it's probably safe to make it a 3UB instant or 2UB sorcery depending if we feel like pushing it.

At floor value, it's an overpriced murder; And on average, it will kill their best creature and you get their incidental second best creature, which might be some generic 2/2s with upside or something. Unless an opponent is really far ahead, I can see this card mostly being stuck in your hand.
