It would have been nice if it had either been cheaper of didn't self exile (both would be too good) as is it doesn't feel worth the cost in any format.
So this is the "vanilla" version of the effect... its at 8 mana, eh?
Seems cool but I think Mindslaver is cooler.... being colourless, dividable cost, and reusable.
So what happens if everyone gets a copy via Hive Mind and more than one person targets a single player?
The last one to resolve will control the player.
712.1a Multiple player-controlling effects that affect the same player overwrite each other. The last one to be created is the one that works.
I think they should make an exception and each of the other players debates how they want to screw over the targeted player like parents discussing disciplining their child in front of their child.

"I think EDH would be more fun for the majority of participants if players just showed eachother their decks rather than actually playing games out."
My Worst Fears are opening this at the prerelease...
Maybe the mana cost is correct for that effect, but you could easily be dead before having the mana to cast it.
Even if you have the mana, you can just get a Time Warp. Of course, there's always a possibility to force opponent into a disastrous attack. I predict that this will feature in some of the coolest prerelease stories
Mindslaver cards are always hilarious. "I play Worst Fears, Does it Resolve Mr Blue Mage?" "Uh, I don't have a hand." " Good, you concede."
712.6. The controller of another player can’t make that player concede.
But can he choose to rip his cards to pieces?
Can the player who's turn has been taken over concede?
No you need a spell that says 'Target player can rip up cards until end of turn.' and 'Target player can concede the game.' since players don't have those ability. People on the other hand do and since people exist outside the game they can kindly tell you 'Hey asshat,stop being an asshat or you'll be wearing your ass as a hat.'

Anyone who thinks this is a wasted mythic rare slot obviously never played a casual format for real fun and is just a sub-species of Spike. GET SOME FUN ATLEAST... or a girlfriend if this game can't give you real fun.
After Hythonia the Cruel and Champion of Stray Souls, I kinda expected this coming.
Yeah, black really got shafted with Mythics in this block, didn't it?
Perhaps I am being too harsh. I appreciate all the mythics you list, they just don't particularly impress me =(. Since I only play casually and only play mono black, I always eagerly await the next black card where I say "ooh, that's going in my deck".
This is a very awesome card, but why was the wording of this ability changed from its first appearance on mindslaver? What was wrong with the original wording? Technically, the card allows its caster to make decisions for the other player, but does not actually control the player themselves. I also am very glad that this card exiles itself, since it would be far too powerful if it could be replayed after having been played once.

Well if you play Mono-Black in Standard right now you cant complain about anything really. The only way they could make Black even stronger is by reprinting Necropotence or other ridiculous stuff like that.
Yes nobody wants to open junk mythics but they have to balance the game a bit. Black is by far the the strongest color in Standard right now followed by UW. There is no way they give them even more over the top stuff unless they want to have a second black summer.
Come on MTG! all Black Mythics from M14 to Journey are not usable in standard! all cost way to much. I would appreciate at least one Black mythic that cost less then 6!

Target creature gains " : You control target player during that player's next turn" until end of turn. Scry 1.
Otherwise, doesn't fit block theme
Much cheaper too. But a fun effect if you pulled it off.

I like how it is black and not blue
Well, it's not that bad, but I don't like this kind of effects so I'm a bit sad they wasted the black mythic slot in this card.

I agree, right next to Champion of Stray Souls.
