thats the steal a creature for 4CMC teaser I’m blown away that’s way better than I thought it would be. This is cakewalk to do in token or/and aristocrat decks.
It's nice to see a Control Magic effect in Standard that isn't garbage. Having said that, modern-day magic is a lot more prepared to handle enchantments than it used to be.
Since when Mind Control was ever playable in standard? And for just one mana less got also a much harsher drawback. I also don't understand why this is rare since mind control effects (even on any permanent) always been uncommon effects.

Mind Control hasn't been an effect printed at Uncommon for a long time. Sometimes we get Switcheroo, best we got in recent years was In Bolas's Clutches, but otherwise even weaker variants of this effect like Mind Flayer or Entrancing Melody have mostly been upped to Rare. It's still a very powerful effect in Limited and, honestly, Magic has a game has changed drastically that I might argue it's also a powerful effect in Constructed given the chance. Just like Time Warp effects, this is the kind of effect that benefited greatly from creatures being stronger than ever.

Agreed, and plenty of Control Magic variants over the years have been rare, as you point out. Especially ones that are 4 mana or less. I think it might only have a small chance at seeing constructed play, but is definitely a limited bomb.
Does the job in limited to steal a bomb , but beside that ... i mean its awful in all formats that have way way better options (not just the top notch Gilded Drake , basically all the old-school ones are just better).

Art is top notch spooky horror.
This set earns the 13+ age tag, unlike other sets.

I think especially on Innistrad it's meant more for 'you GET to sacrifice something AND it even gets bigger on top of that'. if you don't use death or graveyard it's worse, but especially with blue, there are so many times that just a pure sacrifice enabler is worth a look. I think it's going to be one of the more used versions.

Project Booster Fun makes it less fun to open a booster.

At worst you just sacrifice something with decayed

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.

Are everybody forgetting the fact that if opponent do any bounce spell / destroy enchantment effect, not only he get his creature back, but because of the "sacrifice a creature" drawback, the opponent effectively did 2x1 in this case?
If this was a sorcery effect I was the first one saying, "yeah, cool", but all auras always comes with the drawbacks of being auras.
Is this a "Face Off" reference? Its been forever since I've seen that movie, but I feel like there a scene after they've switched faces that looks just like this pose:)

Not sure about Constructed playability, but this will break someone's face in Limited.
