As usual, not sure about costing

-{2} from activation cost

Eeenteresting. Has potential to be used on your own stuff for painful untapping. But is mainly gonn abe used as a lockdown card that also sops up spare mana for extra pain. I don't hink I much like how much of staple that could become.

Nice combination of effects. The mana is going to be really fiddly to use this for more than 1 lifeloss per turn, as you'd need at least {u}{u}{u}{b}{b}{b}.

Vitenka, are you really sure that (roughly) Burden of Guilt + Contaminated Ground/Sinister Possession is that powerful?

Are you asking "Am I willing to pay {u}{b}life for a repeatable twiddle?" the answer is often gonna be yes.

It aint broken or anything. It's a reasonable price. It's just so very varied - both Paralyse+pain or let your own stuff untap as needed? So I think it'd see wide use.

Really? I'm not seeing a free repeatable double twiddle in play much, even with the Contaminated Ground combo. This actually started as {2}{b}{u}, then {1}{b}{u}... as I keep saying on ¾ of my cards, costing isn't my forte. Freed from the Real tells me the twiddle effect is fine, and you can get better/more reliable free bleed at {2}{b} with Soul Bleed or Stab Wound. I didn't make that much research before posting, but now that I have, I'm even more happy with the card. I might fiddle a little bit with the costs, but it feels basically very sound.

it's fine as is

Yes, it's fine.
