Here is a combo.

Have only one flagbearer out in play with an Alexi's Cloak on it, along with an Unnatural Selection in play.  When a player plays a spell, change another creature's type into a flagbearer in response.  You control the target.

Let's say an opponent plays a Lightning Bolt and targets a creature you control.  You have your Flagbearer out in play with the Alexi's Cloak and the Flagbearer ability.  In response to the Lightning Bolt, you change one of his creatures into a Flagbearer.  He has to target a Flagbearer and yours can't be the target of spells or abilities,  so he has to target his own Flagbearer.   

Now there's another situation.  Let's say an opponent plays a Giant Growth and targets his own creature.  You have your Flagbearer out in play with the Alexi's Cloak and the Flagbearer ability.  In response to the Giant Growth, you change one of your  creatures into a Flagbearer.  He has to target a Flagbearer and your original Flagbearer can't be the target of spells or abilities, so he has to target your other Flagbearer.
