Great fun with Brooding Saurian. Otherwise quite risky.

K'mon, no mention of this with Endless Whispers? This, Avatar of Woe, and you get a game of Pass the Permenants. Not a great win-condition, but funny in casual.
Even throw in red for Worldgorger and Grip of Chaos.

Bottom line, this card is terrible on its own. Easily the worst of all the blue fatties.
If you combo with it though, it can be a decent investment. 5 for an 8/8 flier is a good deal. However, chances are you're going to spend more than 3 mana trying to combo it so at best you're going to get 8 mana and TWO cards for an 8/8 flier.
I'd stick with Goliath Sphinx because at least that isn't a dead card if it gets put back in your hand.
1.5/5. More of a fun card, but really not worth it in any format.

This is not a good card for duels, because you have to devote an entire deck to it, and getting an 8/8 with flying for 5 mana is not good enough of a combo for that. In free for all games, I can see this as being a lot of fun, though. "If someone starts killing me, I'll attack them with a flying 8/8 after I give all my permanents to the best-standing player who's not them. Think twice before attacking."

I like the idea, but... i'd pay maybe 3 or 4 mana for a drawback like that

Might be fair if this were a 15/15, and no sarcasm - it's true.

Sky Swallower + Endless Whispers + Cabal Therapy = Gain control of all permanents
I'll leave it to you guys on how to figure it out. haha, I didn't get it the first time either.

Me, I'm seeing a Jhoira of the Ghitu, with a Sway of the Stars popping off right before this baby hits play.

@Mana: Phage wouldn't make the player lose the game as it would already have to be in the battlefield in order for Sky Swallower to transfer it to your opponent's control. Thus it doesn't re-enter the battlefield and it's ability doesn't trigger and cause your opponent to lose the game.
As for Sky Swallower, I think the card is interesting. If only you got all of your permanents back when it leaves play. Or, instead of giving them away, they're exiled, then come back when he leaves, so it would actually be like he swallowed them. As is the flavor is off and the card sucks, and only super-Johnnies would run this. These aren't the cards we are looking for. Move along, move along.
