Ok, i find it way too funny that they put "Mana abilities cant be targetted" as reminder text. Because mana abilities dont target, and an ability that creates mana that targets isnt a mana ability and thus can be targetted by this card. but the inclusion of that reminder text will make it more confusing because you can respond to Spectral Searchlight and Witch Engine, even though their abilities produce mana.

@yojimbojones :
The rules are not fuzzy at all when it comes to activated abilities. In fact it's precisely what you said: A cost followed by ":".

Such a niche and reactive card.
You put it in your deck because you are excited about the dumbfounded look on your opponent's face when you swing the uber activated ability at them, but most of the time it is just going to annoy you in your hand.

Cheap, useful, and hilarious flavor text/art! The Izzet are thinking with portals.
Feels really blue, though.

Those stories of Door to Nothingness remind me of Garlic Jr. from Dragonball

I'm surprised this doesn't see more play in Legacy and Vintage, what with the prevalence of the Painter's Servant/Grindstone + Dark Depths/Vampire Hexmage combo decks. Using this against the Grindstone combo is particularly satisfying, since it's an instant loss for whoever you change the target to.

The rules are somewhat fuzzy on what is an activated ability. But esseintaialy, any ability that has a COST to acitivate. Such as, tapping, paying mana, sacraficing creatures, removing counters, etc. A prime example of how this card pwned me is an opponent used it to reroute my Chandra Naalar 's 10 damage ability to ME. =)
