Is there a card that makes an opponent's hand face-up for any amount of time? Glasses of Urza, for example, shows you the cards in their hand, but doesn't actually flip up their hand like debug mode does. Does any card?

And I suppose you won't implement either of those, then the answer is no.

Revelation and Telepathy. They are in the game, but I don't know if they work like you want (who plays such crap?).

Well, the reason I ask is I've been thinking about cards like Thoughtseize. I'd like to be able to target a card in an opponent's hand, but first I assume their hand has to be visible.

To me, the greatest part of your targeting system is that I can target hands. I didn't know that could be done, previously. It made Force of Will possible, for example.

Base off Coercion? Thoughtseize is basically a more efficient version of Coercion which is coded and displays opponent's hand.
