Oracle Text

This creature can't be blocked.

When this creature enters, a person outside the game looks at target opponent's hand and chooses a card from it. That player reveals that card.

Nothing gets by her . . . except the evidence, the motive, and the culprit.

If there’s no one around to make a decision, you can call or text someone if you need to. If there’s a physical action required, such as high-fiving, you’ll need someone there.
