Uh; so no opponents creatures ever untap, and you counter all of their spells? I think you might want to add "Only once per turn". And it's still remarkably potent - because you case it, tap a creature. In their turn, tap another one - and then in your turn get up to 6 cretaures directly into play.

Stupid good.

by WOM Devign Team:

Loyalty abilities have an inherent restriction to 1 per turn that this text does not circumvent -- compare to the emblem of Teferi, Temporl Archmage. Also, the ultimate is noncreatures -- a throwback to Narset's KTK legendary incarnation.

That said, I agree that it is VERY pushed right now. We've decided to start playtesting the PWs at the high end of powerlevel and then bring down as needed. Right now the main play patterns are: a) freeze two guys per turn while effectively building two loyalty a turn b) freeze a guy, counter a spell, freeze a guy, hold up countering a second spell c) freeze a guy, after she is attacked suicide her to look at 5 cards.

Those might all be reasonable for 6 mana (especially since the cost was actually supposed to be 3WUU), but I suspect that at least the -X will be changed to work with noncreatures that cost X or less and/or changed to only cast 1 spell.
