I would only run this if i already had 4 giant growths. But over all its not that bad, as slightly worse than an exelent card is not bad at all.

I can't figure it out...it seems so similar to a card that I have played with.
Hmm, maybe I'm just crazy

This is definitely worse than giant growth, which was already mediocre.

The whole point of combat tricks is surprise. Oh, your 4/4 is attacking? I block with my 2/2, giant growth.

You can't do that with this. It's on the field, your opponent can see it. In this situation they won't be attacking with their 4/4 into your 2/2 unless they're stupid or they have their own combat trick.

It's also very nice in enchantress decks.

This card is better or worse then Giant Growth, depending on the situation and deck. If your deck has 8 one drops and 8 two drops, then you want Growth. Why? This is a one drop, and your curve will be off. You lose the element of surprise and your curve. But, if you are empty on one drops, then this is excellent. Turn one or two, then your guys are protected, saving your curve while you lose surprise. It just depends on the deck.

@mdakw576
You say that like keeping your opponent from attacking you or blocking your creature is a BAD thing.

The art reminds me of Wolfbitten Captive. Sadly, it doesn't work with the heroic creatures in theros.
@TheWrathofShane
Even though there isn't much surprise with this card, the opponent still doesn't know when it'll be used. Also, your opponent might be too busy worrying about when this will be used to consider the possibility that you have another pump spell in your hand.
