how is the card actually executed?
you got 30sec to consider your choices. then fetch them up (might take longer)
BETAZOID GIFT BOX
or
30sec to consider and fetch them up (strict time limit)

if latter it kinda disadvantages challenged players

I always played it as 30 seconds to choose the 3 cards, then you place them into your hand with due haste.

I think the notion of TDs being final arbiter of how a card or interaction works stifled a lot of the rules dick arguments. Also I would definitely say "ask your TD if you plan on playing this card" as the actual answer to your question.
