Not sure if this works, but it sounds like a good time.

Elesh Norn's Dressing Room -- 
Legendary Artifact
Imprint -- 
: Sacrifice target creature you control. If it would be put into a graveyard this turn, exile it instead. If you do, return each other card exiled with Elesh Norn's Dressing Room to it's owner's graveyard.
You have all static abilities of creature cards exiled with Elesh Norn's Dressing Room. (Abilities that could only effect a creature, like those that effect power and toughness, will have no effect. If an ability of that creature refers to itself by name, it refers to you instead.)
Because the rules are meant to be messed with.
If anyone can think of cards that work well / break / are confusing with this, let me know. I'm intereseted in seeing what people come up with.

Heh Beloved Chaplain.
Also wording could be this:
Imprint - , : Return each card exiled with ~ to its owner's graveyard, then exile target creature you control.

Interesting idea, but giving a creature an ability is likely better than giving the player the ability. Players can't be tapped, which means a fair chunk of abilities will be useless to you.

@ M a g i c a l H a c k e r: No, it's important that the phrasing it has now will only return the imprinted card to the graveyard if you actually sac and exile a creature. I copied Mimic Vat.
@Egann: No, STATIC abilities. Anything that requires a tap is going to be an activated ability. That's part of the reason I limited it.
@1empyrean: I don't know, lol. I thought it would be cool. Off the top of my head: Hexproof, Protection, Karador, Ghost Chieftain...
And I wanted it to sac so you'd still get death triggers. Phyrexians like death triggers. Also, that means it gets can shut down by grave hate like Rest in Peace since you won't have exiled the card from your graveyard. Can't you just imagine how confused Elesh would be if she were all set to flay something and then it just poofed out of existence? That would be hilarious.
It was a little tricky to phrase though...

Oh, right. I thought this up while thinking about Tatterkite.

and is there any benefit to exiling Karador, Ghost Chieftain?

So what exactly is the importance of using Mimic Vat's unique wording on this card?

Plus, the Tatterkite combo would shut off Exp commanders like Daxos the Returned.

Mimic Vat's unique wording makes it so the old imprinted card will only get put back in the graveyard if a new card is actually exiled. It's so you don't wind up with a useless Vat if someone Cremates the new creature in response to the trigger or something. It's a catch all to prevent people from neutering the ability. Same concept here. It's the "if you do" clause that's important.
I never said this card was good, just that it was interesting.

My wording wouldn't return the previously imprinted creature if the ability fizzled cause someone got rid of the creature in response.
December 17, 2015 3:41 p.m.
You're right. Good point. I feel kinda silly now...

Hey no worries, streamlining designs is very important for keeping things simple. The only difference is that it'd trigger morbid by allowing the creature to die as part of the ability.

I liked that though. It just doesn't feel Phyrexian if death isn't involved somehow.

Well in that case, you could replace Mimic Vat's activated ability with your static one and call it a day. :)

This is going to make Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite + Kormus Bell even more insufferable. For that reason only I hate this card.
But I also love the design even if it does make my head hurt a little bit. If you exile a 
Praetor the effect is very nice. Hell it works with all of the Praetors....you mad genius! What have you done?!

Myr Welder does something very similar. You should just exile the creature.
Can you tell my what static abilities make you want to have a card like this?
