A Hippocampus is also a creature from Greek Mythology that is half Horse half Fish, which is where the flavour of this comes from.
"The creature was said to have the head and front legs of a horse and the tail & hindquarter of a serpent or a fish, a curious creature indeed." They were used to pull Poseidon/Neptune's chariot.
Can you get the flavor text to cross cards, so that Agony gets "Agony and ecstasy are both ... one negative and one" and ecstasy gets "heightened states of being, ... positive."
It would indeed, I think I'll keep it as is for now. As is you can go back to copying something previously copied if you need to.
I think that because of the name I felt it needed black - which is a BAD reason for doing it.

I don't get this card's flavor. The hippocampus is part of the brain. Do you mean hippopotamus?
I think it would be cleaner if it said "When enchanted creature dies, return it to the battlefield under your control."
Om nom nom Black Lotus.
In which case perhaps the fix is to change the name to something evoking history or memory rather than physical dead bodies.

If you want to make this black, doesn't it just end up becoming Dimir Doppelganger?
