Quite a step up on Scepter of Dominance. Oh, except that can hit any permanent... A reasonable step up on Trip Noose, then. Or alternatively, a noncreature version of Master Decoy / Rathi Trapper. Either way, it's going to get just as irritating as an Icy Manipulator and come down a lot sooner. "Mean" is right.
Gideon's Lawkeeper may be a better creature comparison, since that's less likely to block, and is 1 cheaper but has summonning sickness. And this can't block but isn't vulnerable to creature removal.
So, um, I guess "Roughly in line with the top end of recent creature tappers. Probably too annoying for printing it to be a good idea" :)
