This will die before the triggered ability resolves and has memory issues.

Suggested wording:

­"When you cast ~, choose a creature type. Each opponent exiles a creature of the chosen type they control.

~'s power is equal to the total power of creature cards exiled with it and its toughness is equal to the total toughness of all creatures exiled with it."

Rules might need a little adjustment regarding retaining memory of the exile effect from spell to permanent - alternatively you could set the power/toughness statically to the value it is as the spell resolves.

The toughness isn't quite a mirror; and is so rarely going to be anything other than 1. Could it be made a direct mirror of the power ability?

Having the toughness be determined by an etb trigger seems like a rules nightmare, since its toughness will undefined until the trigger resolves.

Maybe make this an instant/sorcery spell that creates a creature token?

Would it work with just "As ~ ETBs..."? It would still be fiddly but avoid the immediate problem.

Much simplified version, used Sutured Ghoul and Diabolic Edict as guides.

Thanks for all the feedback guys, used Sutured Ghoul as a guide for the P/T part of the ability. Also changed to mono black.
