This plus Prototype Portal equals awesome.

There are some major differences between this and Pithing Needle besides just being a creature and coming out later. Unlike the needle, this can hit mana dorks; however, it cannot hit fetchlands, which makes a major difference depending on the environment. I, personally, prefer this, because my playgroup doesn't use fetchlands, and this is a creature, but it all depends on the metagame

@barlavento: Unless stated otherwise, all effects on a permanent end when that permanent has left the battlefield. See relevant ruling for pithing needle.

Could see play in many many decks; its like a meddling mage that can go into any deck.
Standard- "I name Jace, the Mind sculptor"
Legacy/vintage- "I name Survival of the Fittest"
EDH- "I name Azami, lady of scrolls (or whatever general they have)"
The formats this guy can be used in are infinite. Pithing needle that attacks for two, I like thee

@Demonic_Math_Tutor:
Linvala's effect isn't an activated ability, so this card would have zero effect of her.

People saying Pithing Needle is better, all i have to say is:
"I name Everflowing Chalice...", sure; the revoker is more susceptible to removal, but it's also able to shut down potential mana sources.
-_- Zenzei... now i can't take it seriously either!

Improved Pithing Needle on a stick.
Nice in aggro Decks featuring Fauna Shaman.
