This card is pretty underrated. It can create some very broken combos indeed.

@Lege: It would be nice if you could tell us how.

I can't figure anything broken, but any BlackLieges and many of those color lords from ravnika can make some decent combinations.

I actually have an infinite deck that uses Teysa, but why use an sorcery speed enchantment for four when you can use Mind Bend, an instant for 1? Just as hard to counter, and the only downside is your stuck with a primarily white or primarily black deck as far as creatures are concerned. Since Teysa is both of these colors already, I don't see any reason to throw down an enchantment for green and white to kill. So again, other than changing a whole lot of color words like Balefire Liege and the like, I always prefer Mind Bend.

I was in the process of making a color-change deck with blind seer, tidal visionary, and the like but then i came across this...it makes all of those other cards a moot point (almost). slap this down, and suddenly perish, hibernate, douse, hydroblast, and prot from (whatever) are exactly what they need to be xD.

A few cards with "dream" in name especially Breath of Dreams and Dream Tides. Then Tidal Control in the same way. And if you have nothing else to do: Khalni Hydra even if you don't have green in your deck.

And if you really use another color there are many cards which you can use... which won't really break this card but make a good combo

Run x1 (or 2) in a BlackBlue Tutor//draw deck with x4 Execute and x4 Flashfreeze

I know its not the Johnny combos yall are wanting, but its simple and not overpowered. It will win you some games with some mad style points.

This and Painter's Servant consumes and confuses the opponent.

A treesome with
Lyzolda, the Blood Witch
Teysa, Orzhov Scion
Savra, Queen of the Golgari
and Swirl the Mists that takes a movie, would become something like this:
2, Sacrifice a creature: Deals 2 damage to target creature or player. Each other player sacrifices a creature. Put a 1/1 Spirit creature token with flying onto the battlefield. Draw a card.
Even if you don't use the exile ability of Teysa, I think that this should be a ton of fun anyway! And if the 5 colors scares you, you can always put Swirl into field with dome white card like Academy Rector or Lost Auramancers

Swirl is a great combo enabler, like Painter's Servant...
4/5

I find it a little hilarious when, for instance, this is used to give Oversoul of Dusk protection from white, from white and from white.

Does this work with Llawan, Cephalid Empress? Swirl naming green (for example), then cast Llawan, then my opponents return to their hands and can't cast their green creatures?
