See Magical Muddling. This is a less narrow version that could have the same effect.
Hee. That's a lot of fun. Pretty stupendously powerful in a planeswalker-heavy meta, which most metas will be . ...In fact, hmm, I think Wizards wouldn't print this because it is particularly good against planeswalkers, and good enough to maindeck anyway, and so it might well actually discourage people from playing planeswalkers in Standard, which Wizards really wouldn't want.
There are some interesting questions regarding how text like this even works. It certainly wouldn't allow you to activate your opponent's Aggravated Assault, but does rule 606.5 ("A loyalty ability with a negative loyalty cost can't be activated unless the permanent has at least that many loyalty counters on it.") apply when you're not actually paying that loyalty cost?
I like to ignore questions like then when I'm designing something fun, but that is a legitimate point. I wonder why it's necessary for that to be specified as a rule, when it would seem self-evident that a cost you couldn't pay (removing X loyalty counters) means you can't activate the ability.
Yow; this is exciting. Activate an ultimate without being anywhere near it? Zedru approves!
But it still leaves the planeswalker there for the opponent to use later.
SadisticMystic, you're better at this than I am. Why doesn't this allow you to activate Aggravated Assault?
