Works really well with Sigarda's Aid--flash this in once the removal spell goes onto the stack, let the aura resolve, then change the target of the removal spell.
Sadly it won't work this way. Captured by the Consulate reads "whenever an opponent casts a spell" that means that by the time you have priority to cast Captured, the point in time that the trigger would happen already passed. The aura needs to already be in play before your opponent casts their spell.
Upon re-reading the card, I stand corrected. No worries--I would rather make a mistake like that now than in the middle of an actual game.
Not necessarily a constructed bomb, but in limited this can be nasty. Admittedly this doesn't prevent the creature from blocking, but the fact that you force your opponent to waste their pump spells on a creature that can't attack may be scary.

The card? Or Pia?
