Goes infinite untaps with echo mage or sigil tracer. Nothing to scoff at.

So many ways to break it...
To begin with, this is really good in Vintage, where you can use it with your Tolarian Academy, Urza lands, and the like.

I use this in my mono-blue proliferate deck which also runs everflowing chalices.
It's a nice card for when I have thirty mana and I don't know what to do with it. Sometimes, I end up just tapping everyone else's lands and monsters before my turn and taking the opportunity to kill everyone without having to worry about things like safe passage or fog. Usually though, I just use it to untap my chalices and contagion engines/clasps and my voltaic keys and just proliferate a few more times so my board position becomes even stronger and more ridiculous.

Sleep is better for end-game.

I'm unimpressed by the mechanic, but it's got the best artwork in the set.

Strictly better than Word of Binding.

Reminds me of Candelabra of Tawnos. I wish we had some kind of High Tide effect in standard so this could have been abused :(

"At one point in Rise of the Eldrazi design, there were quite a bit more colorless instants and sorceries in the set."
At one point in Rise of the Eldrazi design, there were quite a lot of awesome cards...
"...it was decreed by the creative team pretty quickly that they wanted Eldrazi defined first and foremost by their hugeness and second by being colorless..."
...which apparently got nixed by the creative team. Y'all should have been furious. It's not like the Eldrazi spawnish critters cost 
or more. Creative dropped the ball on this one.
Jason Felix's art for this is fantastic. The electric-blue-tinged-purple vibe is great. Your card as first drafted, mechanically, was much cooler. :)

So much potential, so little time. Really wish the Eldrazi had been 5 color rather than just Jund colored, this would have made for a lot of fun times.

I like gigadrowse better, altho this card is muuuch more versatile.
4/5, strong but not overpowered. Compare to the 5/5 exhaustion for tapping or murkfiend liege for mass untap in blue.
