mine.

The original.

I haven't played with this awhile, have to think what is the best way to sac the creature after combat. In red when I use Act of Treason I try to follow it with Fling. What would be best here?

tavaritz, in blue, you can use Tidal Visionary and Homarid Spawning Bed. You could also try Imagecrafter and Doom Cannon. Or good old High Market.

Just two words, guys:

@Tavaritz: Culling Dais. Turn their dudes into card draw.

@Kryptnyt
You seem to have the intent to cannibalize the creature you use this on.......

I remember using this to steal one of my opponents attackers, and then use it to block one of his other attackers. Not quite sure if it was or is legal, but a cool card nonetheless:-)

I'll always have a soft spot for this one, if only as my very first card and my introduction to the game. Someone chucked it out of an opened booster and it spilled into the gutter where I picked it up. Won me my very first game, too.

So I keep it around. I'm nostalgic like that.

This is an excellent card, and an ability that has since migrated to red in the form of Threaten and its ilk. It can set up so many weird situations, including grabbing attackers and using them to block others, or to surprise an opponent and attack them with their own just-summoned beast. Hell, you can even use it to grab a creature to sacrifice to something like Fling or Goblin Bombardment. The fact that it untaps the creature as well can have its uses as well, and being able to use its abilities in a haste-like fashion can be brutal with things like Magus of the Disk.
