prior to the most recent balancing, this card was one of the cheapest rares on the market, generally indicating a lack of user interest. also very rarely used in constructed or limited (brass/zwar). it combos with impure impulses; however, the nerfs to crypt doctor and ix make this significantly less exciting.

perhaps it is still a good card and people just haven't realized it. or, perhaps it needs a buff. I have two ideas:

1) let it target figures instead of creatures. I think this would be a very small buff -- it would add any further to the impure impulses combo since that card already targets creatures. (and if awaken is out, this point is moot.)

2) let the caster first specify how many rounds creatures should stay confused. then choose the number of creatures. the flux cost will be rounds*creatures. alternatively, make it last two rounds all the time. this suggestion might be OP with xastur's ball ... but less so than orb of mind control. and mass confusion needs some kind of love ...

Well said. I think extending it to figures and two turn duration would work.
