@sanjaya666 It actually seems fine to me, not to mention the fact that that "random" element could either turn out amazing or very bad for both the people using it and the people...being used by it xD
@Red_Tower, I've seen cheaper cards with way better effects. Imho, it's a good effect for a legendary (which already have slightly better effects than regular creatures), maybe you could lower its toughness or it's power by 2 (together makes for a nice 10 xD) just to play safe on realism. Great card nonetheless though, would be awesome in a lockdown deck
@Gelectrode that's the entire point, but you'd have to be careful not to play too many black spells before it turns into a creature xD
Also: complex, yet quite beautifully balanced card in my opinion. I love cards that actually give your opponent the choice wether or not to grant someone a boost in return of getting their creature back. Not to mention the risk the card has, because obviously if it's a land or a weenie, they'd take the deal xD (it's a high risk-reward thing = nice)
@credius Hm...thanks for the opinions. The only think I was scared about was him being just too much for a player to handle(and discarding omniscience and paying 8 life to cast spells for free) Thanks, I appreciate the feedback!
all those superknowledgeable cardsmiths seem to forget one thing xD
Generally ALL "legendary" creatures are Rare, not mythic rare with exceptions for Eldrazi titans (given they're titans-gods sort off) and Gods. I know it's nitpicky, but if we're nitpicking over commas, let's do it completely right with the rarities as well
@Mellenius I actually have nothing to say: it's balanced and seems completely fine, even if it's a strong ability xD
What do you mean? There are lots legendary mythics that aren't Eldrazi or Gods. Geist of Saint Taft, Kalitas, Gisa and Geralf, Drana, Doran, Brimaz, Marchesa, Rashmi, Oona... there are loads and loads of mythic legendaries.
Seems to me the superknowledgeable cardsmiths got it right!

Anyone have ideas about this?
Well, I forgot about the whole self exiling permanent stuff. Thank you anyway.

Very interesting concept! I believe that the -1/-1 counter thing would still work even if it is not a creature yet.
Thoughts about this card?

@CheapQuester is this a Vanilla legendary?

Well...eh, the majority is still just rare... *currently shaming himself*
I don't think any of those cards I listed were reprinted as mythic. Rashmi is in Kaladesh - she hasn't had a chance to be reprinted.
It's been pretty much accepted as normal for a while now to have legendary mythics. I'm not sure where you got the idea otherwise.
Yup, @Animist (as per the usual) is 100% right.
