Seems very tames - especially for a rare. While I don't care for the potential swinginess of Mindshrieker, I think this could use something to buff it up. Something like deathtouch perhaps?

This can be poly-activated. Looks pretty decent in an Esper artifact deck as an evasive wincon that comes down early and grows steadily in the late game, fueling your own graveyard strategies at the same time.

Hmm, I didn't notice it affected each player. I guess...
