Great in the duel deck as the 3 dragons in the Coalition deck are all green: Treva, The Renewer, Darigaaz, The Igniter and Rith, The Awakener.
The cantrip is just gravy.

Unfortunately, by the time you cast this, the Elves already won. Unless of course you have Dark Ritual or something.

Ah, this reminds me of when I slaughtered the elves in WC3, or when I slaughtered the elves in Dragon age, or when I slaughtered the elves in LOTR conquest, good times.

good for sidedeck only unless you know you're going up against mother nature.

The flavor text is silly. Yes this is a near-automatic +1: You use one card, Slay which is -1, get rid of a green creature, usually your opponent's, so we can say that's a +1, and it draws you a card, which is another +1. 0, the default, minus one, plus two, equals a positive one, making this an automatic +1 most of the time.
But in flavor, getting two minor victories in the war, even with just one strategy, doesn't kill the entire army. And knowing elf decks, you're gonna be facing down a BIIIIIG army. So how does the flavor text praise this card by saying only the numbers matter, when the elves are already likely to have that advantage as well as the other ones already mentioned? Or is this card trying to subtly poke fun at itself, maybe because somebody in R&D thought it was a poor card?
Either way, it's very good, at least against the right deck. Or with the right deck, for certain builds. 3.5/5.

It's a very good thing for the Modern metagame that narrow hate cards like this one exist. If all of a sudden everyone decided to play goodstuff decks with Tarmogoyf, Scavenging Ooze, and Deathrite Shaman, people could start maindecking cards like this one to make it so that that deck is no longer the best one.
