Trying to capture the trope of a wizard turning an enemy creature into an animal that he controls. But I fear the "lycanthrope" flavour would be better off removed, unfortunately.

As long as you control a sheepdog, you control enchanted creature...

I do love the order of wording of these effects. It's control magic at clone cost! No, wait... it's, um.

Apart from blue not normally getting removal (and the fun of stealing an equipped or enchanted sheepanthrope) this could probably be cheaper.

Yeah, I'm not positive of the cost. Blue removal tends to hover around 3CMC and not remove static abilities, and this is slightly better (the same thing with a free 1/1 and the possibility of chumping with it so it goes away permanently). But it feels strange than it's already nearly as expensive as mind control.

When I made Patronizing Embrace, ignoring that it's multicolor, I just decided that in a lot of ways Mind Control is actually still too strong. So even though these cards are often worse than a straight Control Magic, 4cc is still the most appropriate cost.

Ah! Yes, that's very similar, I'd not seen it before.

And yeah, I'd forgotten control magic was cheaper than mind control. Wizards said that Mind Control is probably too good for uncommon (and presumably too simple for rare), which is what I was basing this on.
