Nivmagus Elemental, meet Trait Doctoring.
Trait Doctoring, exile yourself and give Nivmagus Elemental two +1/+1 counters for FREE every turn.
Being able to theoretically win a game with (1) Island and (2) cards is pretty darn efficient. Of course, it probably won't win you a game, but it will put your opponent on the defensive immediately. It's a threat that they will have to either block to prevent it from getting bigger, or remove outright. While they are dealing with that, your other strategies will be able to win you the game.

the "until the end of turn" kills this card

Combos with Woodlot Crawler. And everything made sense forever.

Color-switching effects have been among the biggest do-nothings in magic ever since the useless lace cycle from Alpha.
And 20 years later, here we have color-changing trash taking up a rare slot.

Gah, I thought this card was going to be amazing until I read that "Until end of turn"
Seemed like it could be an all-star in my Sygg, River Guide EDH, Islandwalking and proceed to change all of my opponents forests into islands or whatever.
But now it only enables islandwalk on the turn its cast and doesn't do anything lasting. Seems pointless, other than "When a spell is cast" triggers but then you probably should just use Hands of Binding for a card that actually does something. :/

You ever think "Man why does the second main phase have to be such a strong time for color-hosers?"
. . . Well if you did, Wizards got ya covered.

Does this do ANYTHING worthwhile in-set?

Aww man, I wanted Mind Bend on cipher, but they had to add "until end of turn." Lame. I wanted to slowly color screw them. Now what use could it possibly be?
