Probability of becoming a mechanic is currently low. A lot of words that'd eat up space where interesting abilities could be.
I guess it's kind of like soulshift?
But yeah, it's kind of taking up all the words on the card, leaving no room for you to get anything interesting into play this way. So you end up being an alternative casting cost for a vanilla.
I guess soulshift got away with it by having the words be on one card, and the reward on another. So you could chain into something that did something interesting.
> "You may exile a creature card with the same mana value as this spell that has died this turn rather than pay this spell's mana cost."
Might save you a line.
> "Exile ~ and a creature card with the same mana value that has died this turn: Put ~ onto the battlefield."
vs.
> "When ~ dies tapped, exile it. You may put a creature card with mana value N from your hand onto the battlefield."
