Daring Thief, Creature — human rogue, designed by Johann Bodin first released in May, 2014 in the set Journey into Nyx.
A deck that focuses on controlling the board and disrupting your opponent's strategy would benefit from including Daring Thief. This card can be particularly effective in decks that have a variety of permanent types to take advantage of its Inspired ability. While there may be more powerful cards with similar effects, Daring Thief's ability to continuously exchange control of permanents can be a unique and unexpected way to gain an advantage in certain matchups, making it worth considering for inclusion in the right deck.

If another spell or ability allows you to change the targets of the ability (or perhaps copy it and choose new targets for the copy), you can change the targets only such that the final set of targets is still legal. For example, if the ability targets a creature you control and a creature an opponent controls, you couldn’t change just the second target to a noncreature permanent controlled by that player. You could, however, change just the second target to a creature controlled by a different opponent. The two new targets can share a different card type than the two original targets did.

Inspired abilities don’t trigger when the creature enters the battlefield.
04/26/14
Inspired abilities trigger no matter how the creature becomes untapped: by the turn-based action at the beginning of the untap step or by a spell or ability.

The exchange of control lasts indefinitely. It doesn’t expire when Daring Thief leaves the battlefield.

The relevant card types (that is, the ones a permanent can have) are artifact, creature, enchantment, planeswalker, and tribal.
