Sorcery (Rare)
Choose target artifact or creature you control. You draw cards equal to its mana value. An opponent gains control of that permanent. "Get the sylex to Urza at any cost. Tell him to fill it with the memory of that place."
—Ashnod, to Tawnos
Black gets its own Donate now, for throwing away things you're about to lose with or that have high mana value but don't do much otherwise.
I’m waiting to see the exact language on this card.
On Reddit, the translation targets the permanent but not the player. Here, it targets the player but not the permanent. A lot of the weird fun that this card enables is going to be determined by the minutiae.
If by some miracle the card targets both, for example, you’d be able to do silly things with Myriad Construct (the spell wouldn’t be countered when the construct explodes as you’d have another legal target).
Still, retconning the story so that Ashnod survived her heroic sacrifice was a terrible decision, and it destroys so much of what makes this moment one of the best, most poignant parts of the novel. For all the things this set gets right - and there are many - retconning Ashnod's fate is such a needless, inept development that it boggles my mind. And for what?

It targets the permanent and not the opponent. The part where an opponent is given control of the thing is worded the same as Akroan Horse, and the part before that uses 対象とする (the Japanese version of "target") to refer to the permanent.

It already did, but this works just fine.
