Question

Is it just the name and flavor text? Because the mechanism itself seems legit - was it printed on a black-bordered card?

There was one other copy printed, but it doesn't have a black border:

I'd have to say that it's a little too broken. All it takes is Ponder, and it's essentially an Ancestral Recall.

remember "the cheese stands alone"? it has a perfect black-berdered reprint... in future sight, but i think that counts. many un-cards are very legal, but flavor-wise no-gos

From Mark Rosewater's Unhinged design stories:

For those of you out there that are wondering why this is in an Un set rather than normal Magic, the answer lies in its swinginess. [[[Mise]]] requires a highly swingy card that becomes uber-powerful at times. In normal Magic, we don't make our swingy cards as good as this.
