In Theros, he goes nicely with black. I like to pair him up with Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Disciple of Phenax, and Abhorrent Overlord.
But the true love of this card is Master of Waves. In-color, and because state-based actions aren't checked while the ability resolves, his tokens don't die when you flicker him.

My favorite: This thing + Great Whale + Blue Sun's Zenith + Laboratory Maniac.

One of two cards in all of existence that I absolutely refuse to play in EDH, along with Jace, the Mind Sculptor. When Sylvan Primordial was banned, I immediately said that they should've cut to the chase and ban the instigator, this piece of crap.

And I'm the guy who runs Erayo, Soratami Ascendant and Ethersworn Canonist to lock down a game. I've never pulled it off, but I have been the victim of Deadeye on more than eight occasions, all in different decks not run by the same player. It's cheap, durdle crap. Should be banned.

My only real issue with this card is the wording for the flicker ability. Right now it says 'then return it to the battlefield under your control', when it should really say 'then return it to the battlefield under its owner's control'.

The number of games I've had someone steal my creature with a spell, bond it with this guy, and then go to town with my abilities...

There are only 3 other multi-use instances of this wording on a permanent, and all of those are conditional (Conjurer's Closet triggers at EOT, Nephalia Smuggler costs 4 mana and taps, and Venser, the Sojourner can only be used at sorcery speed and only once a turn).

I have fun times blinking my Bladewing the Risen and Scourge of Valkas in my Scion of the Ur-Dragon Commander deck. It's basically always the first creature I grab with Fierce Empath, because I can then blink the empath xD.

Cool art, strong but not unstoppable. 5/5

Getting both this card and Conjurer's Closet in Avacyn Restored was a miracle.

Seriously, fµck this card
It just breaks the game in half as soon as it comes out, as if blink wasn't already overpowered enough.
They even had the discourtesy to go and make him dodge removal and have a 5/5 body for 6, ugh
