VoidedNote: Wrong, there are multiple one mana cards that combo with this. You're right about it costing two cards, but it's 6 mana in best case scenario, 8 mana is more like worst case scenario.

Scanning the comments I was surprised to see that no one said Torpor Orb. It seems like the simplest way to avoid the drawback here.

(Sorry if someone said that, like I said, I only skimmed/scanned)

If you look at the wording, you'll see that it's a great way to punish people for giving themselves hexproof like leyline of sanctity

Even in the best case scenario, any plan you have after you cast this guy can easily backfire, then you'll be set 5+ turns back

@ Elleran: Just make sure you don't play Homeward Path first...

@ Tigerguy786: Also Sundial of the Infinite. Doubles as a way of stopping removal.

@ N3rf: That combo is so incredibly complicated; I like it.

@ Gaffy00: Once Cabal Therapy is in your graveyard and Endless Whispers is on the board, play Sky Swallower and then sack it to flashback Cabal Therapy. Watch out for Disenchant in response to the Sky Swallower or its triggered ability, though.

@ Arachibutyrophobia: Challenge accepted.

Both Bazaar Trader and 5BlueBlueBlueBlue are required, but each Sapphire Medallion, Sunscape Familiar, or Nightscape Familiar you have reduces this cost by 1 (you won't control them when you try to cast your second spell), and each He... (see all)

"All right guys. Screw this. I'm giving the new guy at the table all of my permanents. He's going to win."
"I refuse to lose to the new guy!"
"THAT'S TOO BAD!"

I'll SWALLOW your SKY!

Hah... Even a dumb Evil Dead 2 reference can't make me like this.

Have a Confusion in the Ranks in play before you play sky swallower,
since both effects are simultaneous you can do confusion first and exchange this guy with a creature your opponent controls, then your opponent has to give you everything except him.
If you have some mana left and a spell to return a permanent to owner's hand it's even better!
