The Brother's War would be an awesome movie. Its interesting and self contained enough to work. Plus, if it did well enough, they could easily do a sequel.

When Diven enters the battlefield, exile all attacking creatures. WUUt: Return Diven and another target nonland permanent to it's owner's hand. They knew they were outnumbered and outmatched. The only thing they could do was close their eyes and brace for the coming forces. Suddenly, the roar of the charge ceased, and when the dust cloud settled all the startled men saw was a lone figure on the battlefield.

Ok, the other idea I'm torn between is having him exile up to two target creatures instead of all attacking ones. I can't decide if the current version is overpowered, but I somehow feel being able to choose the creatures might be more powerful since most attacks only involve about three creatures anyway. In summary, my indecision has me leaving it as is and I merely dragged you down my rambling thought process for no reason other to get it off my chest. I did, however, give him a more legendary sounding name and add flavor text.
It was probably going to be something like Pact 3 (when you play this spell, remove it from the game with 3 pact counters on it. During your upkeep, add a pact counter. If at any time you control 10 or more pact counters, you lose the game.) That way it will take into account any other "pact" spells you play.
That's why I wanted it to be more like poison in that there would be no way to "cheat" the counters away. We were trying to find an answer to the "redundant" part of the critique which is where that idea came from. I skipped the era with suspend so I honestly didn't even think about cards like riftsweeper, which yeah, would kinda make it to good. I just liked the idea of like a crossroads deal to get a powerful effect. Its just a hard one to work in safely I guess.
I didnt do poison counters because they don't make sense flavorwise. I talked about the pact mechanic with a friend of mine and we decided the best way to pull it off would be by exiling the card with the pact counters (kinda a reverse suspend) rather than putting them on you. So I didn't execute the mechanic very well, but Sorin Markov disagrees with your analysis of mindslaver.
Moby Dick: Not a bad card, could definitely go in a draw deck, though I do feel it should be a little better for a legend. 7/10

Pact of Envy2BB
Sorcery {R} Pact 3 (When you cast this spell, you receive 3 pact counters. During your upkeep, if you have a pact counter, you receive an additional pact counter. If you have 10 or more pact counters, You lose the game.)
You control target player's next turn.
It is supposed to be a black mechanic, and I'd probably do the seven deadly sins. The idea is to get a powerful effect for cheap(er), however it does put you on a clock. And yes, to those who may remember, I have posted this mechanic once before, but I figured with the advent of infect it wouldn't look as radical this time around.
