I have this card in my Oloro EDH deck, and I can't even begin to justifiably mention how much work it puts in. Goodbye, indestructible creatures! Goodbye, combo piece! Goodbye, big beater! If unanswered, this card can put counter after counter on your opponents creatures and then they have to pick and choose what to swing with. I locked a game down against an opponent because of this card and ended up winning. 5/5

I can see it being decent in EDH, but its just so slow.

My kingdom for a W/B legendary cleric.
Is there any reason this is a wizard other than because we're not allowed to have a tribal cleric general?

Sure he is annoyingly slow, but I'm just building an EDH around this, and even without any untap stuff yet, it is super-fun.
You just get so many options! I never thought a Glimmerpoint Stag would swing a game for me until I paired it up with this guy. Now he is a bona-fide "oh crap not that" card. Tokens and annoying auras are toast. But mainly it is just a great all-purpose spanner-in-the-works in an array of sticky situations.
A couple of other cards that like the Triad...
Kor Skyfisher - Rescue on a stick.
Entomber Exarch - bounce creatures from the graveyard or raid your opponents' hands for nasty surprises.
Dare I mention Rune-Scarred Demon?
As for the third ability, if reserved for creatures that are indestructible or provide card advantage, I find it is well worth it.
Love it. 4.5/5

One line would have made this worth mythic status, at the very bottom, would be simple and elegant. "Sacrifice a creature: Untap fates". Without a way to untap her repeatedly it's just kinda blah, although I do love the flavor.
