Sorcery, 3UU (5)
Search target opponent's library for a creature card and put that card onto the battlefield under your control. Then that player shuffles his or her library.¹
In Mercadia City, loyalties extend only as far as your purse can stretch.

Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]

• 10/4/2004: You put the creature onto the battlefield, so you control it and any "enters the battlefield" abilities it has.
• 10/4/2004: Because the "search" requires you to find a card with certain characteristics, you don't have to find the card if you don't want to.
