carpecanum on Blim: It's just a prank, bro

In multi-player games I like using Red spells that take a creature for 1 round. You can remove an important part of one players strategy and give it to another permanently. A bit Group Huggy.

Blim can take out dragon sized blockers with Fists of the Demigod or Bravado (you already have Vampirism, thats my favorite).

Bedlam is hilarious.

Play Vampirism on Blim then give control to a player with a token army.

Add Blim, Comedic Genius to the deck? I felt the same way about Black cards and Zedru so I started a Blim deck as soon as I saw the card spoiled. I wanted to use Vampirism for years but Its a weird card. Perfect if you cast it on one of your creatures and then hand control to the poor fool with a Goblin deck.

Follow up question... say I put Vampirism on an opponent's creature, then I realize that was stupid, can I then choose to use Auratog to sacrifice Vampirism ? Can I sacrifice it even though it's not on my creature...? I'm now assuming I can, but I wouldn't have assumed so before... but it sounds like I control the aura in every way, so I should be able to sacrifice it too, no?

It doesn't matter what the enchantment is attached to; you cast it, so you are the controller. "You" always refers to the controller of the effect, not the controller of the enchanted creature. Since you cast Vampirism, it will give the opponent's creature +1/+1 for each creature you control, and give each of your creatures -1/-1.

Also compare Cage of Hands, which uses this rule to let you pick it back up and recast it to lock down a different creature, Inevitable End, which gets around this by giving the ability to the creature (making your opponent the controller of the effect that's making them sacrifice things), and Captive Audience, which shows how an enchantment would have the caster not be the controller.

I'm pondering using Vampirism in a Lurrus of the Dream-Den -based deck, and my curiosity is if my opponent happens to have an army of 1/1 creatures, can I enchant one of his other creatures with Vampirism and kill the army...? Vampirism is pretty straight forward on your own creature, but at least for myself, it gets confusing when it's on an opponent's creature... who draws the card? Does it get +1/+1 for each of my creatures or theirs? Whose creatures get -1/-1?
Thanks in advance!

Thieves' Auction. Bedlam? Vampirism. Exquisite Blood, Midnight Banshee

Enchantment auras and things like that could buff your boss no matter who controls the enchantment.

Hunted Dragon, Hunted Horror, Clackbridge Troll

I have been waiting for a guy like Blim for years. The only bad thing is I have to have an ally to use Aminatou, the Fateshifter at the same time.

Opposition Agent: Aven Mindcensor on wing-clipping steroids. Note that you can play fetched lands this way.

Three Visits: Unexpected but welcome Portal Three Kingdoms reprint.

Coastline Marauders: It seems like the land ramp hate train is coming, ****ing finally. Dunno if I'll put it in my actual Pirate deck tho as killing people you've stolen stuff from is kinda awkward, but hey it got evasion and is reasonably costed.

Emberwilde Captain: You'd think it'd count your hand instead since you've probably the one that's drawn an extra card? I guess tho that it helps offset the group hug side-effect of the monarch tho. Also, no evasion and pretty expensive so a no-go in my Brass deck.

Was Keskit, the Flesh Sculptor in a novel or something? I can't find any flavor text on him and it seems odd that they'd make a new character instead of using any number of old or new phyrexian characters, like Tsabo Tavoc.

Blim, Comedic Genius: Would it be too harsh if it exchanged control? And did the last sentence really need to be symmetrical? Anyway, I've previously done a list of gift-friendly cards for a custom card if anyone is interested; It's ~2 ½ years old so absolutely everything isn't there but it should cut down on search time: (Check the "Wall of Cards" spoiler button) http://tappedout.net/mtg-forum/custom-cards/grixiszedruu/ (YOUR TIME IS NOW Vampirism!!!)

DemonDragonJ: Demonic knowledge seems mostly good for being gifted by Blim, although that's ironically anti-synergetic with his discarding
