It's great for, in Limited, stealing creatures as an instant and blocking with them. Completely screws up your opponents' combat math. It's also basically a 5/2 for 3 and a couple burn/bounce spells.

If you could manage to get this dude in a BUr deck, with magma jet, terror, barter in blood, glacial ray, echoing truth, unsummon, reach through mists, consuming vortex .. once you have control, there's no stopping you.
Maybe even just a B/U deck with Toshiro, unsummon, truth, reach, consuming vortex, dampen thought (omg), soulless revival .. my god guys, I think we've found our splice deck. Barter in Blood, grave pact (maybe), devour in shadow maybe.
Put things in the graveyard, bounce things to hand with free cards, splice onto free cards for more free cards.
Before the GPT on Saturday, they skipped normal FNM and had a half-price Extended tourney for everyone to test their decks that they were switching out for other crap the next day.
I'm 23, just started playing competitively about 9 months ago with the prerelease of Darksteel being my first ever DCI-sanctioned event.
Limited: 1657, was up to 1702 for a while
Constructed: 1665, without my win at FNM extended on Friday (no FNM cards, was a primer for..) and my 4th place at the GPT the following day also extended.
Composite 1661
Eh, I suck. But getting better.
MTGO Limited rating 1672 (proud of this one, it's *very* difficult to start winning on MTGO)
No. Again, this only works if the creature returns to their control 'at end of turn'.
You can't do that. That only works if the card says 'gain control of target creature. At end of turn, return that creature to its owner's control.'

Think it could work?
Oh, and you forgot The Ring 2.
The first one was, for some reason, the scariest movie I've ever seen.
