This would usually be a reliable way to steal a creature, especially since practically no one bothers to run shadow defense anymore. However, its a little to expensive for its strength, and you can only use it once. 3.5/5

Thalakos? This is the first time I have seen creature type Thalakos. . . For 4 mana, you can use Control Magic and take opponent's creature with ease . . However, your opponent can easily destroy the enchantment and gain the creature back . . This has some ups and downs, but I would rather go with the enchantment though. I will give it 3.5/5

As originally worded, shouldn't this be able to deal its combat damage, THEN sacrifice as an activated ability? Besides the 1-damage difference, Azorius Guildmage etc care.

Well, I guess now we know the inspiration for Soul Seizer.

So my question is, if the creature you gained control of is removed from the game and returned (i.e. Flicker or something similar), would its control go back to its owner?

This guy can seriously ruin someone's day if they can't deal with it fast enough, even though it's pretty fragile. It's kind of a dick move, but I want to run this in an EDH deck with shroud effects to lock down the opponent's commander.
Not bad, its going to steal something or bait out a removal. And being a creature its easier to return to your hand or the battlefield from the graveyard.

Super fun to use in EDH most of my group doesn't play any shadow to block it or direct damage to kill it and most don't even think about killing it until I've already used it. Can be a very low key way to steal your opponents Commander. 4/5
