Except there's a rule that states a card cannot be put into a hidden zone that isn't it's owners.
400.3. If an object would go to any library, graveyard, or hand other than its owner's, it goes to its owner's corresponding zone.
But 101.1 says that if a card contradicts a rule, the card takes precedence. So if 400.3 says 'You can't put an opponent's card into your hand' but a card says 'Put an opponent's card into your hand', isn't 400.3 superseded in that instance?

Search target opponent's library for a creature card with converted mana cost 7 or greater, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle your library.
#The network is convinced that this is a legal action. This is not the first card that has you steal cards from an opponent and put them into your hand or library.
Doesn't 101.1 mean that if the card says you can do it, it is legal?

If that's a +1/+1 counter, that feels like the Huntsmen of Annuvin from the Chronicles of Prydain - "As their numbers dwindle, their power grows".
Start with four 3/3 Mad Slivers; then three 4/4; then two 5/5; then one 6/6.
Hyperion Blacksmith 2
Legendary Artifact Creature - Construct
Whenever a player names a card, that player exiles a card from his or her hand.

#YES! YES! "Name a card" hate!
"And my Briarberry Cohort attac--"
"Ha! Exile a card!"
"Why?"
"Because of Hyperion Blacksmith ohdammit."
As long as the top card of your library is a creature card, Pember Boon has all activated abilities of that card.
... however, we won't instruct you to play with the top card of your library revealed! So you need to psychically determine whether the top card is a creature or not, Zener-test-style, and your opponent needs to have faith in your powers.
I'd eventually like a mapping function from content to reasonable art. That's actually well within the realm of possibility at this point. The art can either be fixed or generated on the fly. In the latter case, something something convolutional neural networks something something deepdream-esque iterative creation. But that's down the road for me.
It's mama fish, spawning metamorphic little fishies Grin Have a clause dealing with fish counters (say, "when @ leaves the battlefield, destroy all creatures with a fish counter) and you're good to go.
If you choose Diamond Herging as the target creature, you get exponential fish growth... until any one of your cloned Hergings is killed, and suddenly your entire fish armada evaporates...

They're obviously intended to be Mirboö, Zuraä, and Kaneël; or, if you prefer, Mirbo'o, Zura'a, and Kane'el.
... depends on the fantasy novels.

Would the image-hunter script Nafnlaus posted be a viable solution?
Take control of target fish.
I love that there's a Lizard Wizard who turns everyone else into lizards.
