Had lots of fun with this in Limited, coupling with Domestication.

this thing would have been perfect if you could move any aura instead of just ones you control

Oh look, you're pathing my Skywatcher. I'll just move that Drake Umbra over to my Knight of Cliffhaven thank you. Thanks for the extra land and the card draw.
I've yet to use this card, but I always draft it late pick. As someone else said, living the dream of actually using this card when someone narcs or ousts your creature would be amazing. The card name says it all, Finesse.
I never even thought about the Mind Control implications. Mind Control some grunt, and then Finesse it to a bomb later...

I'm actually surprised this card appeared so lately - would expect it sooner. The effect is still neat, and since it's with cantrip, you probably won't regret putting it in your deck. If you play reasonable amount of auras, that is.

Question:
Let's say you have a creature you used control magic on and attacked your opponent with and he blocks. Can you do in response to blockers Aura Finesse to switch mind control onto his blocker so you can then become in control of that creature?
Is there a way to say, using mind control on, for example a 2/2, swing in with it, your opponent blocks with a 3/3, you use Aura Finesse to switch control magic onto his blocker. is there a way of doing it so it kills off the 2/2 due to combat damage and you gain control of the 3/3?

Rawr, I equip my spreading seas onto your runeclaw bears (random, but simple, right?).
But more seriously, it's not amazing, but I guess it has it's uses. Certainly not standard worthy, or any constructed, but a neat idea. This is a good kind of card: niche, and not great, but sorta fun,.

Yeah, the control magic trick works, but this card is still bad.

Sure, but before damage is dealt.

No, you can't. All damage is dealt simultaneously and state-based effects resolve before a player gets priority.
@ this card:
It isn't safe. It suggests that I could attach an aura with "enchant land" to a creature. Instead, this card should have been spelled: "Attach target Aura you control enchanting a permanent to another permanent"

I'm not sure if I understand one bit of interplay:
Say you use something like Traitorous Instinct to gain control an enchanted creature until end of turn. Are you also considered to control the auras attached to that creature?
Because I've used it for that - I moved an eldrazi con***ion onto a conquering manticore one time, which was pretty sweet and made this card seem pretty awesome.
