Combos extremely well with Grave Betrayal, give your creatures to your opponents when they're targeted by removal or when simply just chump blocking bigger creatures, you'll get them back, but with a +1/+1 counter and immunity to Doom Blade to boot
and of course, Jinxed Idol, never forget Jinxed Idol

I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone mention grid monitor

@JohnnyDepth
This ability would be countered due to having an illegal target as it says "target you control", thus you'd pay five mana, steal their thing, and this guy wouldn't do anything.

(EDIT: Forget all this below. blurrymadness (I guess Wizards is technically to blame, lol) killed all my hopes and dreams by showing me that the rules wouldn't allow it. *sigh* Danggit.... Guess you're left with Venser, the Sojourner to do that trick with the Totem.)
Absolutely mesmerizing combo with Avarice Totem.
Tap the Trader and target the Totem to yourself. Then, in response to this, swap the Totem with a permanent of your choice, preferably one of your opponent's of course. That swap resolves first, and you nab their permanent. Then this resolves after that, and your Totem magically returns to your control. Congrats. Any targetable permanent can now be yours. All for the low, low price of 5 mana of your choice.
The only thing you have to worry about is if said opponent has 5 mana lying around during your exchange, at which point he/she can activate the Totem and make a swap in between your shenanig... (see all)

This little fella turns Act of Treason into Mind Control. And without relying on a flimsy enchantment. Excellent... *wringing hands menacingly*

This gets fun in combination with Mind Control and Kitsune Mystic once it's been flipped. Enchant a creature, gain permanent control of it with this, then move the enchantment to another creature. All your creatures are belong to us.

I love this card for many reasons.
It adds a really fun game mechanic and makes some less wanted cards usable.
Being able to give people bad cards is always a laugh too, loads of black cards hurt the controller so I'm not going into those...
Grid Monitor/Steel Golem + Straw Golem Straw Golem
Bronze Bombshell
Jinxed Idol
Sell-Sword Brute
Troublesome Spirit
Voodoo Doll
Goblin Firebug
Emberwilde Caliph
Rust Elemental
Argent Mutation (This is amazing, can give people Enchantments, that's opening a whole nuva level...)
Not bad eh for some of the lowest rated cards, and thus cheapest??
Seriously this guy does wonders for the people like me who enjoy alternative win methods... ^ ^
5/5
