This can be incredible in the right deck. Having even 2 or 3 out with another wall just makes your mana fly. As a 0/4 it will even take more than a lightning bolt to take it down.

Maan, Wizards, PLEASE print more defender synergy cards. Another green version of overgrown battlement would be awesome. It'd give a nice alternative to elves for mana ramping and actually make some defender decks viable (especially with cards like vent sentinel, battle rampart and perimeter captain in the mix). DO IT!!! =D

Possibly the best wall we've received in green in years. Reach would have been nice, but if the vines can't overgrow the battlement skyward it's understandable. :)
Also: most badass flavor text to ever appear on a wall.
Our enemy is nothing less than the end of all life. We shall not want for allies.

So this guy is basically my win-con in my Red-Green Defender deck.
the mana I get from it is used for a huge Banefire/Fireball.

Fantastic wall for multi-coloured combos.
Green/Red can be fun with Wall of Vines, Vent Sentinels and Battle Ramparts, powering out giant Protean Hydras with haste and tossing huge Fireballs from behind cover.

I think it isn't a plant wall because it isn't the wall itself that is "planty", but the stuff that is growing uncontrollably all over it.
As for the rest of it, this card dumps out mana if you have 4 of them. But even if you have just 1 in your deck, it's still good!

Beast within and Wall of Tanglecord have great synergy with this wall. Destroy their key card and watch them feel cheated as their 3/3 beast does nothing against your 0/4 wall. Then next turn drop a 0/6 defender that stops Caw-blade in its tracks, and is good until around turn 6 when the titan's land on the field....that is if you don't turn them in to 3/3's as well.

Combine with Sprouting Phytohydra, Coat of Arms, and any method of doing 1 damage to all creatures repeatedly (such as Pestilence or Pyroclasm) for nearly endless mana VERY fast. Now throw in any card that takes tons of mana (Eldrazi? Banefire?) and instant win.
