The ability can only target an opponent of the current player.

The targeted player controlling more lands than the current player is a part of the targeting requirement. A player can't be targeted by this ability unless it's true, and the ability doesn't resolve if it's no longer true at that time.

Shuffling the library is part of the optional effect. The player only shuffles if they chose to search.

The land card enters under the current player's control.

Because the "search" requires you to find a card with certain characteristics, you don't have to find the card if you don't want to.

Price History
To study a single card is to glimpse the heart of a spell - a frozen moment of ambition, artistry, and arcane intent. Within each glyph lies a spark: a story untold, a duel turned, a destiny altered. Treat it not as mere parchment, dear seeker, but as a shard of the Multiverse itself.
