Wording is weird. It's as if they start the card by making you think it won't target, as "choose" is the word of... choice (pun!) when a card does not target. Why is it not simply "Two target players each search their library of card ... bla bla"? Shorter and clearer.
But hey, it's power with weird Seb McKinnon art, so it can do what it wants.
It gets around hexproof and protection, if that counts.
It doesn't get around hexproof or shroud. This is a targeted spell. It says target.
..and that's what I get for reading these forums drunk.
That being said, it might be a clarity and lesser complexity thing, like Isareth the Awakener and corpse counters.
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.

This is pretty much what I've been saying for everything Seb McKinnon has been putting out lately.

Play this.
+1 Jace, Memory Adept. Draw it, mill opponent for 1.
|| UW Jace, Vyn's Prodigy UW || UG Kenessos, Priest of Thassa (feat. Arixmethes) UG ||
Cards I still want to see created:
|| Olantin, Lost City || Pavios and Thanasis || Choryu ||
It might backfire when I tutor for removal for Stony Silence/Collector Ouphe/Karn, the Great Creator (i.e. my mill rocks don't work), though.
Also Gonti, Lord of Luxury will take that searched card off the opponent's hands.

Don't forget Bridgevine decks such as the new and powerful Altar of Dementia-Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis variant.
Lantern Control gets to look stupid resolving this tutor if your opponent boards in Shenanigans (or even Ancient Grudge) unless it has Pyxis of Pandemonium already.
