Does this ability exist already?

No, I don't think so. Dissipation Field (the blue version of No Mercy/Dread/Aurification) is the closest that's happened, and this is a lot more powerful.

He reminds me rather of Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind. A legendary creature with cost 2UURR, a triggered ability, and an activated ability that can trigger that ability.

Very interesting combination of effects, anyway. Good card.

I didn't think so, but something about it seemed familiar. Probably I was thinking of Dissipation Field. I'm glad you made the comparison to Niv-Mizzet, because it's quite right. He's missing the flying, allowing him to be a 5/5, so hopefully I've costed him appropriately. I purposefully didn't give the creature haste or untap it, which makes the ability slightly less good. Slightly.
