'Worse' appeared in Pillory of the Sleepless's flavor text, and I'm think it's pretty hard to get that into real text. Almost certain that it's hitting flavor text, confirming some of the info above.
Although, Greater did get a single hit as well, so it's theoretically possible (if unlikely) that something could reference both. But I doubt that.
South Star2
Artifact x,t: Add X mana of any combination of colors to your mana pool.
What is North Star? A clunky, inelegant mana filter. So let's make a simple mana filter, and it does the job just as well. Obviously, cost can be argued with.
Note that the UU cost in all hard counters is a strong guideline, not an unbreakable rule. Dromar's Charm is a hard counter, yet has only a single blue mana. If I remember right, they justified it due to the fact that it still had a very dedicated mana cost.
It wouldn't be impossible to have a hard (or fairly hard counterspell like Convolute) show up at some sort of NWU (where N is just some number, whether it be 0~2).
Nuts to Standard. Obviously, everything ain't designed just for that.
Also, upon further consideration... This card really likes Storm Cauldron. The Cauldron makes it trigger easy, and once it triggers, you overpower the Cauldron's drawback. Crazy benefit for you, no benefit for your opponents.
I'm willing to say that the priorly mentioned Sunder is the best use for it, even if off color. It gives you a reason to need all that mana back quickly, and it'll kick you ahead of the opposition, too.
Of course, there's the "Why?", but that's a different issue. Maybe a ginormous Stroke of Genius for the win?
Another thing to consider about whether the indestructability will last without the artifact:
Form of the Squirrel has a static ability which causes a squirrel to come into play, and makes you lose when it leaves play. This problem still exists on that token, even if you lose the Form later on! It's pretty similar to this example, here.
I didn't mention it in my prior post because using an Unhinged card to explain rules is, um, well... pretty obvious, that. Anyways, though, it's certainly possible that that's not the correct wording of this card (the points have already been made), but we can only use what we know, y'know?
Hmm... Absolutely limited only, after all, if That Which Was Taken is destroyed, all those divinity counters don't have any effect anymore...
If that wording is correct, this is false. Quicksilver Fountain and Sensei Golden Tail have relatively similar abilities (event which produces a counter which is merely used to identify an object), yet neither of those cease to work if the original source (the Fountain and the Sensei) is removed. It'd be counterintuitive to assume this did, as well.

Maybe they thought him being untargetable and theoretically unblockable would be too good? :tongue2:

Those ain't Black/White Knight arts we've got. Yeah, we probably already concluded that, but still.
