To destroy creatures: Rubinia Soulsinger + Altar of Dementia. To return creature to opponent's hand: Rubinia Soulsinger + Erratic Portal. Also you can just control a creature that has a nice hability and use it, like Aura Thief or Reya Dawnbringer.

A Bant-colored Mind Control? Oh, wait. Mind Control is already in Bant's colors. Never mind.
If you really want a better creature-controlling creature, go for Sower of Temptation.

She's been surprisingly pleasing as a commander in EDH. She gives access to the earlier green faeries as well as the current blue ones to go faerie tribal. In addition, you can Control Magic other players' commanders and beat them with them.
Back in ancient times, I really loathed this...nice lady.

@TheGodOfWar91 I was waiting for somebody to say it! Could it be that the artist used her as a reference or something?
Anyway, as for the actual card mechanics, it's an interesting one. Costs more than Merieke Ri Berit, and unfortunately has a slightly worse ability. Possibly quite good as an EDH general, if you want that kind of ability in those colors.

In her day she was the queen of my deck with a few Preachers thrown in.

I would like to see wizards of the coast build this cards theme into a planeswalker. Rubinia Soulsinger is a very unique card.

How is Merieke better? Merike's colors are not conducive to a good ramp like Rubinia's colors. To use Merieke well you need some sort of untap source or it's one tap while it's out and no more stealing.
Rubina is such a great Commander. Throw on a Lightning Greaves so only mass removal will wipe this creature out and you're golden. Also have some sac sources to prevent your opponent from getting their creature back...

She's not that kind of girl.
