Q, Stacking the Deck

Legendary Creature — Q

Q wants a deck that steals its opponents' creatures and spells. It also works in a deck built around Library Manipulation.

When Q enters, shuffle your library, then exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card. That nonland card gains "Exile a card from your hand: Create a copy of this card. You may cast the copy. Activate only during your turn and only if this card is exiled."
