what I mean by "yoink" is things that steal from the opponent such as Psychic Intrusion Nightveil Specter Soul Ransom Jace's Mindseeker Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver (not all have to be used) crap like in conjunction with the control-ly standards Duress Thoughtseize far//away Doom Blade and the sort

functional? discuss

Jace's Mindseeker is really the only card in this list that is completely unplayable in standard.

As for the others... Nightveil specter sees TONS of standard play, and Ashiok is in a few decks as well.

Soul Ransom is a card that I use in discard decks against midrange strategies, (very specific matchup) but I love the card.

After re-reading psychic intrusion, I just might playtest with 1-2 in my dimir control deck, I'm curious how that might work out. (especially against UW) control where you can take their Sphinx's Revelation and not worry about the colors....
