Hideaway 5 (When this enchantment enters, look at the top five cards of your library, exile one face down, then put the rest on the bottom in a random order.)
Whenever you cast a multicolored spell, create a Treasure token. Then you may pay {W}{U}{B}{R}{G}. If you do, you may play the exiled card without paying its mana cost.

Official rulings
- You may use the Treasure token created by the first part of Widespread Thieving's last ability to pay part of the {W}{U}{B}{R}{G} cost in the second part of that ability. (2022-04-29)
- Any player who has controlled a permanent with a hideaway ability since a card was exiled with it may look at that card. (2022-04-29)
- Previously, permanents with hideaway entered the battlefield tapped. This ability has been removed from the definition of hideaway. Older cards have received errata to have an additional paragraph that reads “[This permanent] enters the battlefield tapped,” and they now have hideaway 4. (2022-04-29)
- Hideaway now causes you to put the rest of the cards on the bottom of your library in a random order instead of any order. (2022-04-29)
- “Hideaway N” means “When this permanent enters the battlefield, look at the top N cards of your library. Exile one of them face down and put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. The exiled card gains ‘The player who controls the permanent that exiled this card may look at this card in the exile zone.'” (2022-04-29)
