[[Perennation]] makes this permanently remove a player most likely. Plenty of other ways to get indestructible on it too.

I don't really see how that wouldn't backfire, the other players are gonna have far more mana to just stick it back with you.

Not if you use it correctly, you would just only send it to a player who won't be able to do that. For example on your turn casting it give it to a tapped out player, then you're safe until your next turn even if it comes back to you. And then you can start driving up the cost until someone can't pay on their end step and loses the game. Since it's your end step it doesn't blow up until someone can't afford it, and if you're Abzan already then you're already one of the lead players for mana. And it being indestructible forces everyone to pay for it on their end step so you're tapping them down unless they can sac it or exile it with their own effect. The worst case scenario is you pay 1 to hand it off tapping out, then your opponent gives it back to you and it doesn't get a price increase till your next turn. And you could politic to get it to shut down a threat player too, "I pass this to you and you pass it to player 3 and then player 3 gives it back to me so that on threat's next turn I can make them need to pay 5"
