by jameschanlee:

Long time coming.

Possible replacement for (((Mind Control))), which was always sort of a feel-bad card. (You feel bad even when you're the one casting it, as the victory always felt kinda cheap.) Not dev-tested, so p/t and costs may change.
With the new Arbiter and possible re-inclusion of Stargate, should be interesting.

by dude1818:

I've never really thought of Mind Control as a feel-bad card. That said, I once had an opening concede a game of Commander when I cast it on his Commander, so I guess I see where you're coming from. (He should've seen it coming; his Commander was Merieke Ri Berit, for crying out loud.)

dies -> dies in combat, otherwise too strong

by Tahazzar:

"Dies during combat" should suffice - see Cathedral Membrane.
