Hmm. So it's Mind Control that doesn't work on regenerating creatures. Odd.

Dreadnought isn't much of a bother because it comes back and you just sacrifice it again and no harm done.

There's still the larger issue that this is just Ritual of the Machine without the sacrifice cost and with a broader targeting condition.

You can only return the targeted creature, so you don't have to worry about your opponent tricking you into a different creature. I made it optional anyway, in case you run into a Phyrexian Dreadnought or something.

Even if it didn't, the morbid is also, um, in the way. Shouldn't the Morbid say "you may", so that it didn't become a drawback in some situations? I wouldn't be so fond of having this when my opponent had a Nantuko Shade on the table, for example.
"Death Conversion your Black Titan?"
"Sacrifice a Zombie Token in response?"

I think so. This is basically always Sorin, Lord of Innistrad's ultimate in miniature.

Since instructions are sequential, isn't this trivially true (barring something like Leyline of the Void)?

How come? If you tap it for , nothing special. If you tap it for , you probably spend one or both immediately. If you don't spend one, you're unlikely to use it later.

This seems fiddly to keep track of.

Similar effect, different execution. Now you can activate blue abilities of nonblue sources.

So, as a quick run down of what this card will not do (that it wouldn't be able to do by just tapping for , say)... you can't use the blue mana on:
non-blue artifacts or artifact activations (and, like Eldrazi, for what it's worth)
Permanents with or off color activations, such as Harbor Bandit
Activations on permanents that change color (generally because your opponent got very lucky and just happens to be packing something like Ghoulflesh, but could happen due to something like Rise from the Grave (Edit: RftG is evidently in addition to. I'm sure someone can come up with another card like that... the point is that it's very rare).
Two spells if my mana is limited and they are of different colors (for example, if I have a Plains, Plains and Abyssal Plains on the table, I can't cast Patrol Hound and Flight in the same turn. I can make , but one of those blue would need to be used for colorless mana on the Hound. (This also applies to awkward match-ups of activations)
Lands
That last one is the tricky one... especially since that rule also effects this land, and this land is a common. If, for example, I have a Plains, Abyssal Plain and an Abyssal Plain in play, I can't produce . Plains adds W, uses it for the first Abyssal Plains which gives me UU, which I can't use on the second Abyssal Plain.
