Which receiving antenna would capture more power, an omni or a high gain beam?

An isotropic antenna would be the best, as the field described came
from the same emitter (such a field would be impossible otherwise).
Stepping out of this enigma (that the emitter and detector are
different, and the field which could only be generated by an isotropic
would then suddenly turn and come back) would answer the omni.
