Exactly. Pokken just pointed out what I was doing last Friday against an esper control deck. I did a Heliod/Ashen Rider/Skybind lock 3rd game, blinking out on my end step, and after my combat with 8 mana, making cleric tokens along the way. It was beautiful. In addition, blinking a scryland with two Courser of Kruphix becomes sick as well, (Two life, free scry and a creature.) and that's not including an eidolon of blossoms in play on occasion. Blinking opponents cards when they attack.
It's mana intensive, but potentially sick. Good possibility for a pillow fort with Safety Sphere as well.

MTG Junky... First packs being a starter of each 4th Edition and Ice Age. Good Grief, I've been playing since 1995? Where does the time go!

this is mtgs, where occam's razor is so blunt it can't cut jello any more.
I think the key to whether this is good is whether acidic slime is in M2015
The most realistically repeatable abuse I can think of right now is Heliod/Elspeth/Skybind. They curve right into each other, and once you've got Elspeth you just wipe everything with the -3 every turn. Not really that many outs once you've got 8 mana either, since if they try to hero's downfall Elspeth you can blink her again in response -- if they might have downfall mana, you just always hold 4 back.
I hope Ghostly Prison gets reprinted in M2015 as well. Man would that be sweet.
Take a moment and let is sink in....
Non-Enchantment. That gives us a lot of options doesn't it?
Blink a scryland, scry again AND gain life off of Courser of Kruphix
Blink a creature get an ETB effect again. Sin Collector Sylvan Primordial Ashen Rider
And best yet, blink a Whip of Erebos target and get it back.
Opinions? Ideas? Let's see what else we can figure out here......

Irony... Your best possible tool being your worst enemy. Skybind mirrors would boil down to who would play the first slime and blink it.
