Eeep. "
: Gain control of target creature." is a very scary line to read on any card. The closest I can see to a precedent are Memnarch, Olivia Voldaren or Captivating Vampire. The first two need 7 mana to yoink a creature permanently, and the last one needs 5 Vampires.
This... might be printable under current mythic guidelines. But wow.
(The middle line would probably get cut, as it's not especially connected to the identity of the card as defined by the first and last ability. But that will often be the case with triple mashes.)
You could link them more clearly by making the third clause: "~ kills target creature"
I agree with the "Wow". It seems overstrong, but, well, it's "

" for a control magic (like an opponent is really gonna let you get a second activation off) and it kills your own stuff over time.
So yeah, scary, but probably with in the realms of fair. Wow.
"Oh Hi! I play big green and you played Soultwisting Kami on round 4? Scoop. Play another?"
