I hear this card was good in limited if you stacked your deck.

you're still putting cards into your hand. could be useful with a discard engine to net you a 4-for-1.
But now we have Squadron Hawk for the same purpose at half the cost.

This one takes a little creativity, but like Nesting Wurm, Skyshroud Sentinel or Squadron Hawk, you can use the free cards in your hand to do some neat things. Mercadian Masques introduced the first spellshapers, so I imagine cards like this were meant to help you find things to discard that you wouldn't miss.

Some weird things you can do with this:

Jaya Ballard, Task Mage and other spellshapers: Discard the extra copies and turn them into damage.
Stormbind or Stormscale Anarch: Use your other 3 copies as damage.
Æther Rift: Increase the chances you will have creatures in hand to discard. This can fill up your hand with just creatures and net you some free wolves, freeing up mana for you to do other stuff.
Survival of the Fittest: Allows you to get your best creatures by guaranteeing you have 3 copies in your ... (see all)

@Gaussgoat:
Please keep in mind that this card is older, and thus strictly worse than, the cards of today. At least, that seems to be R&D's intention.

So... I get a 2/2 for 4CC, which allows me to cast other 2/2 Wolves for 4CC....

No thanks!

If you're hurting for 2/2 wolves, may I suggest Wolfbriar Elemental

1.5/5

This is to Squadron Hawk as Diabolic Tutor is to Demonic Tutor. And that is to say much worse.
