T1 llanowar elves
T2 new Sorin into a free 6-cost vampire (haunt of Hightower? Vengeant vampire?)
T3 neoform into this and start stealing land?
T4+ ...blink effects
Interesting card. As mentioned above, great blink target and fetchable via Doot Man to boot, but very expensive, and usually is just worse than Mass Manipulation if you're playing it in a vacuum, so at a first glance seems more like a Commander card. Still, maybe some Temur Nikya brew could use this to get some powerful interaction in Standard?
Mass Manipulation has quadruple blue mana requirement which makes it inconsistent in 3 color decks. Even Bant who plays mana fixing is starting to drop it and no Esper/Sultai deck has the single copy in the SB anymore. Straight UG Ramp is the only deck playing it.
Volition Reins saw some SB play in it's time, I think this type of effect when paired with little Teferi might be popular in the super friends mirror.

And by the way guys Yarok, the Desecrated + panharmonicon = Blatant Thievery and not to mention if you throw in a blink effect of some sort

This aint your girlfriends meta! This is a man's meta! TURBO META.
It steals any permanent forever and has plenty of upside to easily get it back and play it over and over and over.
Its a wonderful card that you can put effort into making it really strong.
Being a creature allows some fairly easy ways to cheat it into play from the graveyard, its quite nasty in a black/blue deck (having it Corpse Dance).
Being 2/3 even allows for Reveillark to get it back.
SO MUCH possibilities and stealing the best card is never bad.

But decking yourself on that play is the moral victory, I'd scoop to give you the win there.
