Exchange control of two target permanents which share a permanent type.
Uthlon the Wise scandalised sphinx society, hooting the answers to riddles as he rampaged through Tin Street. Grangle on the other hand, sat for hours, deep in thought, largely ignored by fellow goblins.
We need those legendary creatures. A Sphinx acting like a Goblin is hilarious

Legendary Creature - Sphinx
Flying, Haste
When ~this~ enters the battlefield, create two 2/2 Blue Sphinx creature tokens with flying.
UR: Sacrifice a sphinx, ~this~ deals damage equal to the sacrificed creature's power to any target.

Legendary Creature - Goblin
First Strike, Vigilance
Whenever an opponent draws a card, you may draw a card. If you do, discard a card.
2/2
A fixed "2" is kinda boring, could be much bigger.
And a narrow effect like this could easily be instant, so you can switch stuff that is in combat, or targeted by removal ; which would make this somewhat more usable and playable.

Will most likely end up playing it anyway in some 5-color clone / switch decks that run plenty of such effects, but its far from satisfying.

It wouldn't, because exchanges in Magic require there to be exactly two of whatever thing is being exchanged. You can't exchange control of more than two things (you can exile and redistribute them, but that's a totally different effect).

The card's not that shabby either. Nice and cheap
What are you doing here, Ajani? That... that's Zedruu's title. What did you do to Zedruu, Ajani? What did you do?!?

Zedruu went to live on a farm, Rosy...
That was my first thought as well, play a bunch of the garbage walkers, make them wonder what you are up to, then steal the good stuff.
