I just realized: if I activate the ability after blockers are declared, he can effectively become an 11/6 trampler, which is way too much epicness for 6 mana.
Lowered P/T

I used to have another creature that killed its original, but I didn't keep it. I like the idea, but it isn't in flavor.
And annoyingly, the other means of taking somethings identity - controlling it - is red.
Still, it's a legend, you can shift the colour pie a bit, maybe? Perhaps have it assassinate the creature it is going to become? (Which ups its powerlevel a lot)
That's pretty much the flavour of Dimir Doppelganger. And in fact the flavour of most of Magic's doppelgangers. "Stealing people's identities for its own purposes" sounds very suitable for blue.
Gleeep. Big and scary.
Rather reminiscent of Jor Kadeen, the Prevailer. But quite a bit better.
I think I like this with the only-your-turn restriction as well as once-per-turn, but it could go either way.
Huh. I suppose you're right. It's become similar to Sakashima the Impostor plus Icy Manipulator almost. My original intent was to capture its method of knocking people out and stealing their identities for its own purposes, which it made feel black, but mechanics-wise it's seems blue. That's the trouble with top-down design, I guess.
Pyrovillian Foot-Soldier needs watering-down, and this is an uber version of it. Do they need a restriction of making their ability only on your turn, or (since it only affect creatures) is it good as-is?
I like this, but it just seems so blue.
