What's really so amazing about this card is the shroud, creature removal is at an all time high, and even without the boost you get a 1 mana save my creature from all sorts of spells like unmake, lightning bolt, path to exile, and if you have an extra mana you get an even better giant growth to boot. Thats the kind of combat trick I've been waiting to see from wotc, although I'm perfectly happy with colossal might as well, awesome card with the trample. Hmmm.. now if I use them together, I add +8/6, shroud and trample to my creature until end of turn.. sounds like a great way to finish a game.
Oh and here's something funny, note it says target creature.. not your creature. Your opponent blocks your big trampler and plays a righteousness on say palace guard.. and you play vines of vastwood on the palace guard for 1 mana, and it can't be the target of boosting spells anymore, and righteousness goes to the graveyard. Its an anti combat trick for your opponent as well as a nice comb... (see all)

Counter target spell that targets a creature.

Good Lord, this thing is bannanas. A combo shroud/Monstrous Growth for a total CC of 2? As many have already mentioned, this works well as a counterspell. Nasty.
5/5

One of the few green instants that can used as protection and buff at the same time :)
Cheap, reliable, balanced

Devour doesn't target anything. It simply gives the ability to sacrifice and a reward for doing so.

Great card, but don't use it preemptively or for the pump if there is a possibility they can remove the creature, or they'll kill it while the spell is on the stack, two for oneing you.

Great for protecting creatures that have been targeted with removal. If you suspect they will try to target your creature with removal, make sure you wait for them to cast first, otherwise something like Doom Blade cast in response will resolve first. The +4/+4 part of the card is just gravy.
This should also protect a creature from spells like Lava Burst because after it resolves, the targeted creature becomes an illegal target for your opponent.

This card will be awesome in my Bant exalted deck. Biggest weakness of exalted decks is having your lone attacker removed. Giving them shroud for 
is awesome
