It's interesting - one could argue that green's strength lies more in fatties than it does in weenies, and if you believe that, then this card is not quite as strong as Glorious Anthem - nowadays white is the king of strong, small creatures.

Still, whether you believe that or not, it's a great card! Green's options for enduring board-wide creature pump have been few and far between (Kaysa, anyone?), so I'm sure that when they printed this in Planar Chaos it was happily received by lovers of saprolings, insects, wolves, snakes... elves...

Wait, did I say the white version was better? Hm...

White, especially monowhite, still has better options (Marshal's Anthem, Honor of the Pure, Crusade), but this gives green weenie decks some beef.

Yeah, you aren't likely to play it with Elves whenever you could play an Imperious Perfect or Elvish Champion for the same amount of mana and get the same effect on a body plus an extra ability. Still, saprolings love it, as would a Liege of the Tangle. This also can really help Eldrazi decks that rely on Eldrazi Spawn, but probably not as much as mana ramping to get to the Eldrazi would.

@Leshrac - Huh. Last I checked white had most of the best fatties in standard too. :\
