I like this guy. Reasonably costed defender who can attack in a pinch and essentially acts as an extra mana if needed. Solid.

The cost is too high, but with pretty decent ability.

Oh man, in RavX3 draft, this guy was Vedalken Entrancer #4-6...and he was even better as a blocker. Great for Dimir in limited.

Something you can do is slip that in with either Dawn's Reflection or Khalni Gem, then enchant tidewater with Freed from the Real. You have an infinited amount of mana.
You could use it with something like Orochi Hatchery, or almost anything with tokens.
Or use Future Sight and be able to play almost anything in your deck. Only roadblocks are lands. In that case, put Ocular Halo on Tidewater too. You play everything in your deck.
Only chances of hiting this combo are with a few Long Term Plans or Parallel Thoughts.
There's a lot of cards to keep your opponents from abusing this, but it seems like a lot of trouble to Mindslaver an opponent, Donate this to them, AND enchant this with something like Seizures.

I would love to use this for infinite taps when my opponent has a Gideon's Avenger out and then steal it with a Act of Treason... no wait Mark of Mutiny because it needed that extra +1/+1 after getting about 200 of them from the original effect. Or if you want to stay mono blue, Mind Control could work too. Decisions decisions...

Read Betrayal and you'll find out how stupid your comment is.
Game stall ftw!

It works with almost anything that TAP and doesn't require a self-sacrifice. And its ability doesn't require any additional cost...

Hell, isn't that an infinite mana combo? You target a different land each time, and just keep untapping them for mana.
