Fun with Exert Influence

So in one of my NoP matches today, I had out a "From the Beyond", bringing out a 1/1 Eldrazi Scion each turn. Opponent casts Olivia, and the next turn, I cast Exert Influence on it. Normally that is fun enough on its own, but now at the beginning of every turn, I'm bringing out a 4/4 Scion basically, and it gets lifesteal and flying on top of its other abilities.

Anyone else have some fun combos come out because of Exert Influence?

(Just trying to have some positive threads today)

    I have stolen Olivia and then used Kiora's ultimate ability. That was one big angry octopus.

    I have also had Olivia and TSN. Lots of fun there.

    I've been longing for this card for so long. Still no sight of it.

    Closest thing I have done was cast Gonti, Lord of Luxury, steal a Zendikar Resurgent, and cast it with Midnight Oil in play.

    Never has black mana ramped that hard.

    I grabbed Olivia with Exert Influence while I had Thopter Spy Network in play. Yeah that was great. Got Exert as my 3rd mythic from the buy-a-mythic in the store. Great investment. Awesome for those "summon 2 or less creatures" bonus objectives.
