The mana cost is much more restrictive than I'm comfortable for this effect, though I like that it can essentially be used as a finisher in an aggressive deck if you manage to not run out of cards by six mana. It's a fine card overall, but nothing too exciting.
The art is probably the best we've ever seen on a Threaten effect, too.

I'm on your battlefield, stealin' your bullchantments! Good at 3, catastrophic at 6, less good than Insurrection at 9 but hey, free bull, right?

Well given enough mana, you too can get an Insurrection!

With Devotion and Nykthos, there's no reason this can't hit sooner and/or harder than many people think it can.

2 Threatens is at least 300% stronger than 1 Threaten.

Ignorant question: Opponent has an active Thassa blocking and I take it with this, but I don't have the devotion to keep it a creature. Does the Thassa become an enchantment, then go back to opponent and become active again for opponent?

Like all Act of Treason effects, it can be used to steal Inspired triggers. I won a game by stealing a King Macar, the Gold-Cursed with it and using his inspired trigger to exile my opponent's last blocker.
Also, I say Act of Treason effect instead of the more common Threaten effect because Threaten can't do this. With Threaten, the creature untaps before you gain control of it, giving your opponent the inspired trigger.

@hoser3 Well this is a sorcery, so you can't cast it during blockers. Unless you meant Thasia was untapped to block, then yes taking it would turn it into an enchantment on your side, and then when your turn ended it would end up back as a creature for your opponent (assuming they still had 5 devotion).

Great card. Don't pass it in draft. I got passed two in a triple Nyx draft.... needless to say I won. From stealing two creatures multiple times to win games, to stealing a tapped King Macar, the Gold-Cursed and having it Gild itself, this card is a bomb.
