ATTENTION! this set is on hiatus! ATTENTION! this set is on hiatus!

I like it!
I think this could be 1W even at common, compare cards like Courier Hawk. I'm not sure, but I think white small flying creatures get flash and vigilance without costing much more.
You could also add defender for flavour, though it's probably a more interesting card without it.
It's slow to get going, since you need to pay 10 before you get the effect, but the significant problem is that if you cast this for five mana, then next turn put five counters on it, you get an extra turn immediately, when you still have five mana up so you can do it again, repeat for infinity, so once you untap with this, you've basically instantly won.
But I really like the design. Maybe make it cost
but need to tap to put a charge counter on it or to activate it? That way, you can hope for an extra turn every five turns which is good but not broken.
Too good?
Fixed.
Too Good?
Whaddya think?
You could also consider something like, "when this attacks, creatures defending player controls get -1/-1 UEOT". Even if it's not necessary for balance reasons, it would be quite thematic.
Ah, yes! It's only for a single player, but close enough.
Curse of Death's Hold also does it, and that can exist in multiples just fine.
The only other thing worth mentioning is that this might be a 'Legendary Only' abilty. After all, Night of Souls' Betrayal, Crovax, Ascendant Hero, Ascendant Evincar, and Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite are the only cards I can think of which house this ability without triggering it, and none of them can be on the table in multiples. I get the impression there's a reason for that.
That said, Dementors aren't legendary. Tricky problem. The answer might be to just hold onto to this design for another card and start again on this one...
It's definitely strong, but looking at other similar cards it looks ok (for rare). cf. http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?sort=cmc+&text=%20[other]%20[creatures]%20[-1/-1]
I like the flavour, that's just right for a dementor.
I think it should be "other creatures" or "non-[type] creatures" for flavour and comprehension reasons. And nowadays I think wizards would be more likely to make it "creatures your opponents control" than "all creatures".
Is this way too good?
