At the end of that turn, control returns to its previous owner.
This variant places remembering the roll on you, and also putting the ability at a specific point on the turn steps timeline. I removed the OM clause, mostly because it was never really neccesary except to be hyper clear. That level of clarity shouldn’t be meeded for this design.

Flameslayer, that's brilliant and I like it. Thanks so much for your help!

It just instead has a 32% chance or so to take control of the hero if it activates. What if all your figures are dead except for bleakewraiths on opponents cards? The ability sounds more like a possession of sorts. The name Devouring chains might sound a little better if it had something to do with possession. Like Unholy Possession or something. The only other thing that is a little funny is the miniature looks like a ghost with too much makeup on. Maybe your figure looks scarier than the stock photo though. Overall I like the ideas on the card.

I imagine a Bleakewraith playing like the Marro Gnids' Cling ability - when they are put on another Army Card, they are left there the rest of the game - so they are not technically in play anymore.
Yeah - I'll definitely think more about the name of that special. Those are some good suggestions. And yes, I totally agree that the mini doesn't look the greatest - but for now, that was what I had. So we'll see if I can find something better. I've got a whole bunch of cheap heroclix minis so that's usually what I use. Thanks for your feedback my friend.
