Hm, very tempting to put this in a deck...
There are a surprising number of things that can help this:
Cruel Fate, Mesmeric Sliver, Misinformation, Painful Memories, Precognition, Sealed Fate, Second Sigh, Spin Into Myth, Tahngarth's Glare, Ether Well.

Copy that 0/0 Graft creature, and your Marrow goes straight to the graveyard too! If it wasn't for that, I would have picked it for my Copy deck, some of my shapeshifters are 0/0s too.

Very complex in a Paradox Haze / Reality Strobe strategy... How efficiently play creatures?...

Really interesting idea... if you had the ability to look at your opponents deck with something like Orcish Spy, you could reliably steal one of your opponents big creatures.... Sort of combining a counter spell and a clone in one fell swoop.
Very efficient card if you could get it to work reliably.
3/5

It killed what it copied before Evil Twin.

Just a casual card. Careful timing makes it worthwhile, for example Forced Retreat or Lost Hours. Not anywhere near worth it in a tournament, and not something to bother trying in limited, but fun in casual.

Why do they have Chippy, one of Magic's most awesome artists IMO, draw so many Drakes, one of Magic's wussiest creatures?

What a strange card. It combines a little information with a random threat, but it seems like the first effect is too minor and the second too unreliable to really find a home in any manner of Constructed deck. Maybe if it cost a little less... Even in Limited, though, when won't you be better off just playing another creature?

If the trigger ability was recurring and it constantly changed, that would be quite interesting, the could even add a colorless to the cost and I would use it frequently.

if it gets returned to your hand it is no longer a creature so you'd replay it for 4 mana as an enchantment
