Interesting thread here:

The last couple replies point out that if you use Tithe on your opponent's Adam, and then after that resolves and you control Adam, pay the cost to remove him from the game:

| "Once Adam leaves play, it becomes a different card and thus the modifier from Tithe 'loses track' of it. Therefore it no longer applies, so Adam would return to play in your party and not return to your opponent's control unless something else specified otherwise." |
In other words, you can steal Adam for good using Tithe. Seems pretty good...

Yup that is exactly the way it works, but what idiot isn't going to remove Adam in response to the Tithe?

An idiot who is tapped out, and has no counters.
It happens; they don't always have Eye of the Storm, or sometimes they have to use it, or sometimes you attack Adam and they use their last counter to remove him and then you Tithe in response.
(EDIT: Obv., you don't Tithe if they can remove him in response.)
EDIT2: Actually, here's a somewhat likely scenario. They have Adam in play, and no eye of the storm, but resources open. You end your turn, and they pay 3 to cash in a quest, leaving only one resource open (since they're assuming that as Priest, you don't have any instant-speed removal).
In response, you could Tithe Adam and pay the two to yoink him for good.
