Good removal for Merfolk. Especially if you have a Vial going you can use all your mana for this upkeep while still playing Force of Wills and Vialing in creatures.

I play this thing in EDH, and there it's really awesome. Most EDH decks run multi-colored generals, and since it's also a multiplayer format, there are always good targets to steal. And that for just one lousy mana! Sure, in 1vs1 decks it's not that great, but in multiplayer and especially EDH it's a card I have in about each mono blue deck.

My favorite budget anti-Goyf tech in Legacy. Do not underestimate this.

Painter's Servant+Bazaar Trader can give this card a very cheap way of stealing creatures.

5 because that art is hilarious.
It's not HORRIBLE. It's just useless against most colors.

Is it also possible to use Mind Bend with this card to change the colors it targets?

One reason to play Prismatic Lace.

Works well against {R} and {G}, which are {}'s enemy colours. Just make sure you have a sacrifice outlet or a way to avoid (or possibly just pay) the cumulative upkeep, and you're golden. Stealing creatures for {U} (or {1}{U} if you plan on using it on your turn) is unheard of, even with the hefty drawback and narrow field of use.

Certainly a good sideboard card for R & G players.
