I don't see how Bind the Monster breaks blue's identity.
Tapping-and-not-untapping has been in blue like forever. Being dealt damage, or paying life as an additional cost-ish? I think we are way past the times where that was black-only. Extending it to blue-black-red seems logical. Also, Phyrexian-blue mana has existed for a long time.

Holiday Armadillo... Cloak
My 490 Pauper Cube
Modern frame only- Common on paper only - no functional copies, no strictly-betters - no subtype-matters
It's expensive, but has a good ETB ability and doesn't die to LB.
I guess works on swarm only?

Recursion engine, but it has to attack. The body is not bad for that, though. A single pump, evasion or protection and becomes dangerous.

For those who have a control-and-sacrifice theme, and do not run functional copies or strictly worses, this is a good side-version of Act of Treason.
No, it is not a strictly better, as with AoT you could equip a controlled creature with your own equipment, and this card punishes you if you do.
Ninjutsu enabler? probably not good enough.
