I considered something more complicated where paying
kept the aura alive and paying 
gave haste, but it was too complicated.
I'm not sure about costing; I wanted something between temporary stealing and permanent stealing for UR. This may even be too good for uncommon, since if you can afford it you can steal the creature permanently, which is now restricted to rare. Maybe this should have a shorter lifespan but cost UR.
Stealing creatures permanently is not restricted to rare enchantments. See Soul Seizer (Dark Ascension), Mind Control, Enslave, and Volition Reins, for starters.
Nice thought.
Link: Sorry, it was something Mark Rosewater said online about Soul Seizer: http://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/15556696790/soul-seizer-looks-neat-but-does-it-mean-aaron-forsythe not that it would always be rare, but that straight-up mind control probably would be.
Well I don't like that at all.
Well, I'm not too fond of it, but I can understand it from a limited perspective. Mind Control is close to the number one draft pick of many draft environments. If I had a choice between that and Sun Titan... I think I'd take Mind Control and pass the Titan. I'm not sure... that's a close one... but taking your opponent's bomb and using it on him sure is good in limited.
