Yeah, all soldiers who ride flying things have type Human (or their other race type). Skyknight Legionnaire, Skyhunter Cub, Knight of Sursi, etc. I'll agree it seems a little odd, but it's what Wizards do.
That's probably wise; it's always really hard to remove cool cards, but statistically some would unfortunately benefit from it ;(
Although now you say that, I suddenly brainstorm several other conceivable options:
(1) Make it a morph trigger or explicitly a special action, which may fix the "can't activate stuff" without extra rules text.
(2) Change it so you pay the cost, which loses the "force" flavour, but could still be interesting. (Would the current wording let you activate any number of mana abilities? If so, shoulld it have?)
(3) Say "you control target player's next turn until you play an activated ability".
Probably there's no good wording, but i still thought it was interesting.

The combination of "X+1" with "0/-3" is a bit too much complication for one card. The whole thing comes across as a poor way to say something like X/1, where X must be at least 4. That at least brings it a bit closer to Weave the Strands. Alternatively, could it re-use the Ritual of Accusation tokens, possibly as XRRR?
Changed to preserve the mirror with Ecriot Infiltrator (was Ecriot Concealer). Now an interesting comparison with Severed Legion.

Was: 1B: Zerian Concealer becomes a sorcery card until end of turn. Activate this ability only when Zerian Concealer is in your graveyard. (It's no longer a creature card this turn.)

Used to be a Concealer with "1U: Ecriot Concealer becomes an instant card until end of turn. Activate this ability only when Ecriot Concealer is in your graveyard. (It's no longer a creature card this turn.)" This was too wordy and very hard to make relevant, so simplified to Vitenka's suggestion. The Concealer cycle was always different and less relevant on the blue and black elements, so removing them, which will also take down the complexity at common.
It gives you potentially about four free counterspells over the course of the rest of the game. It lets you tap out and still be free to counter or do random other stuff if your opponents do anything. I wouldn't say that's undercosted.

The flavor text sounds great when spoken, but would probably read better as "No matter your problem," which can't be misinterpreted as its own sentence the first time through.
New wording accomplishes most of the same things - enabling the Eleventh Rite of Eharot, being a self-buyback sorcery - but with far less wordiness and confusion. Sadly isn't a win condition now it's lost the lifeloss, but it mirrors Clash with the Elusi better this way.

I don't think it's too bad. It doesn't do anything at all until you drop an enchantment after it. I'd like to see how it plays before changing it, at least.

Old wording was: Choose target opponent. Put the top five cards of your library into your graveyard. For each Cleric card among them, that player loses 2 life. If there was a sorcery card among them, that player discards a card. If there was a land card among them, return ~ to its owner's hand.
