I think this makes more sense as a permanent.
That which can be destroyed by the truth should be. Speak the truth even when your voice falters.

To get this out soon enough to be effective, one should focus on  :entropy producing sources (marks, pillars, towers) thus hindering its effect which lets him transform any quanta in  :rainbow.. The concept is interesting, but I always tend to prefer smaller creatures, and I think zanz does too, because apart from nymphs few high cost creatures have actually made it into the real game..

Just my 2 cents

I considered that actually, and I think the ability is a bit too powerful to put on an early game card. It would partially nullify mono decks. When designing the card I wanted to make a creature with a powerful ability that could serve multiple purposes. However I find that opening every bit of utility in the game up too early would be way OP. Being on a higher cost slightly inefficient beater forces you to choose between late game utility and speed. So yes, in part my intent was to have a slightly more focused creature.

I find this interesting. I chose the name and ability to specifically conjure up a mental image of a powerful being chaotically weaving the elements together. If this were a permanent what would you picture it as?

I had pictured something like a weaving loom, with only pink thread coming in, but being woven into a rainbow tapestry.

Or maybe a purple prysm with the  :entropy mark on it receiving white or pink light and emitting rainbow?

I'll consider making it a permanent. My one concert about that is that it would become harder to answer. I might be overestimating how powerful the effect is though.

I think it's not too powerful, as its high  :entropy cost to be played forces you to use a lot of  :entropy producing sources to be reliable and doesn't let you abuse  :rainbow cards as you could, because you are left with limited card slots.
