Love the effect, but regrettably the card itself is too expensive, they could have lowered the cost to {{1U}} or {{UU}}, or they could have made the guy a bit bigger.
Shame WotC had to insert the race-they-made-all-by-themselves into a neat concept. Instant blah.

@nibelheim Yeah, don't you just hate it when a creative team doesn't endlessly copy other works of fiction? Sometimes WotC bothers me with their originality too.
Do people realize this card, as well as Political Trickery, helps blue handle man-lands?

Works perfectly with Rainbow Vale. Tap the vale to summon him. "heres a vale! oh wait, you have to give it back?"

I like the art and the effect, but it seems pretty hard to make real good use of. Sure if your opponent is playing Fertile Ground or the Ravnica bounce lands (which of course are in the same block as this guy) then you can get a good deal, but most of the time won't you both get screwed equally? Or close to equally.

Great card for Azami EDH. It's a wizard so you can tap to draw a card and you can exchange an island for the best land your opponent has.

Use this plus Deadeye Navigator to exchange all of your lands for all of their lands. Then cast Brand.

Unfortunately it doesn't work super great with Rainbow Vale just because the vale only switches at EoT if it was tapped for mana, and even then it switches to an opponent of the player who controlled Rainbow Vale at the time it was tapped for mana, not who controls it at EoT. That means that if they don't tap it for mana, they keep it which can still be beneficial, but doesn't automatically return it to you.

Using this one with Sorrow's Path and something like an Icy Manipulator should be fun in casual, though.
