One of the only functions I've found for pool old Norin the Wary, but man, what a combo they make. This card, with the right combos, makes for one of those decks that your casual group will laugh at and fear, and twists multiplayer games in bizarre ways. Pretty fun card all around, gets 4/5 from me for fun factor.

Love it...see my comment on Thieves' Auction for just how silly it can be :P

Confusion in the Ranks + Cowardice = Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!
Theives' Auction is also a silly card with this.

You can use artifact lands and Dryad Arbors to steal someone's lands. If you manage to have Meloku the Clouded Mirror out you can put the land you played back into your hand before it's swapped. The cherry on top is that you also get to have one of their creatures in exchange for a 1/1 flyer.

This is not a multiplayer card. You play with this portion of distilled evil once in your lifetime, finish the game with someone else's deck, wipe a tear from your eye, say "that was great!"... AND THEN YOU SET FIRE TO THIS PIECE OF CARDBOARD. No exceptions.

This card works so well with glitterfang or squee, goblin nabob and creatures that return to owners hand at end of turn. It makes a really really powerful deck. It will always have people saying WTF.

I'll just take that (insert awesome enchantment here), and you can have my illusions of grandeur. Echoing truth it, do it again. You lose 40 I gain 40 and two of your permanents. HA!
Absolute chaos when combined with Grip of Chaos, and that combo has a strange ability to even multiplayer games out, unless you run something more to help you take advantage of this (I ran those two, Hive Mind and Kher Keep in a chaos deck that somehow actually managed to win about half the games it played in multiplayer :P)
cards like these will always have a place in my heart for messing up every bodies game no matter how good they think they are doing

I've had so much fun with this, with phasers and Viashino Sandstalker...I hope it returns to sets...Custody Battle is another fun card. My friend has both of these in his Chaos deck, and may make it blue for Eye of the Storm, Hive Mind, and is trying to get Knowledge Pool from another friend
EDIT: Also, dun froget Norin the Wary, Genesis Chamber, and Splinter Twin--he doesn't have them, but they would be funny, especially Splinter Twin, cuz you trade the enchantment, but you get to activate the ability-until someone trades for it

I have a very hard time figuring out what is going on in this card's art.
My friend has a deck called "confusion in the pool" that runs four of this and four Knowledge Pool (alongside glitterfang and norin the wary, of course). Whenever we play a big multiplayer game with other people, I always make sure never to go after it early on because of its FREAKING CHAOTIC AWESOMENESS that screws with everyone. Super fun even from the other side of the table.

This is the most fun card I never get to play. I tried building a deck around this and Pandemonium. When it comes down to it, you just can't build a deck around comboing with a card that comes out at turn five; by the time it comes out you will probably have too few cards in your hand left to combo with. Still, the rare times it does work are a joy to experience, and it gets even better in multiplayer.

seems like a fun fit for a hexproof/aura deck.
They can't target your best creatures, and you can give them a Slippery Bogle for their best creatures. Then, you can play a rancor on your best creature, to get their best enchantment. Who cares that they control the rancor? its still buffing your creature, and will still return to your hand if it dies.
Artifacts and enchantments with global abilities are also good donation targets. Task Mage Assembly doesn't care who controls it, and goes well with the hexproof theme.

I have to agree with some of the other posters: there is a special kind of Hell for people who play this card.

Dude, that is cruel, and awesome

But I guess that's the genius of it.
Oh man, put Splinter Twin on a Bronze Bombshell with this in play.
Giving seven hippo's to an opponent only for them to steal everyone else's creatures is one of the most hilarious things I've ever witnessed.

In that Hell, they play with this card.
