This card is so limited... but it would be hillarious to see the look on an opponents face when his 11/11 monstrosity is replaced by the Goblins of the Flarg you killed on turn one.
It has some interesting uses if used in combination with a wall that can block unlimited numbers like Wall of Glare.
1/5 for sheer interesting factor, but that's it.

This has inspired me to make some sort of ultra-jank reanimator deck:
First, play out a bunch of cheap walls. Steel Wall, Shield Sphere, and the like.
Bazaar Trader and the like to give them those walls.
Creatures with provoke, like Deftblade Elite (or just the card Provoke) to force those walls to block.
Some way of hucking things into your graveyard, let's keep with the jank theme and choose Book Burning.
Then cast this after you provoked their wall to block, and sacrifice your provoker to reanimate whatever big creatures you managed to get into your graveyard.
That's right, Naya colored reanimator deck. LIKE A BOSS.

Why bother...the odds of you coming out ahead are very low...

Look at this ruling though
10/4/2004 Yes, you can cast this targeting your opponent's Walls to good effect.
could be a good sideboard card in that way

Why aren't I just playing a Venom-like effect?

@djflo - Since you're the one that's casting the spell, you get to decide what ends up in play.

To bad it can't hit the only good wall that people would play like Wall of denial.

MrBarrelRoll: Rather than Walls and Bazaar Trader, cut that down to a single piece. Use Trickery Charm to change your opponent's blocker into a Wall, or use Blades of Velis Vel, Crib Swap, Shields of Velis Vel, Wings of Velis Vel, or Amoeboid Changeling. Sadly, many of these cards, such as Unnatural Selection, specifically exclude Wall as a choice so they don't work, but this list should be plenty. Now you can have reanimator in any Green/X color combination. Since white already has Resurrection and other effects, to be really nuts you'd want to avoid white and make G/U reanimator, which works well with Merfolk Looter types to fill your graveyard and present a tempting creature to block.

@Gaussgoat - that will never work unless you stop the big guy going to the graveyard. If you read the rulings, you can put the same creatures back onto the graveyard as died.
So unless your opponent uses cards with really bad ETB triggers you won't get anything using this. You even need the wall to survive to be able to even cast this! The only feasible use is a long drawn out combo; fun for casual at least.
EDIT: Thanks Alsebra, I was completely wrong about the first bit. Note to self - read confusing cards better.

This card can be a nice way to get a friend using Phage the Untouchable
