Oracle Text

Exile all nontoken permanents. Starting with you, each player chooses one of the exiled cards and puts it onto the battlefield tapped under their control. Repeat this process until all cards exiled this way have been chosen.

Character Background

Thieves' Auction is pure red chaos on a mythic scale, a sorcery that turns every board into a loot pile and every player into a desperate chooser. At seven mana, it most naturally fits a slow, high-impact control or combo shell that can survive long enough to cast it, then exploit the reset better than everyone else. Because it exiles all nontoken permanents and redistributes them one by one, you want to build around permanents you’re happy to “lose” temporarily or cards that trigger on entering the battlefield, such as ramp rocks, value creatures, or sacrifice outlets waiting to reclaim resources. It also plays well with mana rocks and token production, since tokens survive the exchange and help you rebuild after the dust settles. The key deckbuilding tip is to include ways to break parity: blink effects, haste enablers, or cards that punish opponents for giving away lands and engines. Used well, it is less a fair swap and more a heist that rewrites the whole table.
