Holy jeez, this has Limited applications. Save your best creature from a burn spell, manipulate the crap out of the combat phase, or punch through for the last couple points of damage (infect or regular). I would LOVE to have multiples of this guy in my deck; your opponent will almost never be able to make the right decision, even when you're sitting on zero mana. Heck, this could easily go as early as 4th pick.

The first time I saw this, it looked like a failed Giant Growth. As others have pointed out, though, with the right opening hand, this thing wins games in four turns or less.

I'd much rather have a kicked Vines of Vastwood for 1 more mana to get an extra +2/+2, plus shroud effect.

I thought this card was pretty sweet when I first saw it, but every time I've had it in hand (admittedly, only in limited decks), I've always wished it was a Giant Growth instead. +2/+2 just isn't big enough a lot of the time (though obviously they couldn't make it +3/+3, or it would be a strictly better Giant Growth).

At first glance I didn't think it was that good, since it's only +2/+2. But then I ran 3 in my prerelease deck and watched it work its magic. When attacking, sometimes it's great to trade 2 life of yours for 2 life of your opponent's. Also, paying 2 life to dodge some removal or pull off some combat tricks and take out an opponents creature is great. Not even Snuff Out can match that efficiency. Plus, once you play 1 or 2 your opponent starts getting nervous. Very flexible, can go in any color deck. 5/5 from me.

Reminds me of Rouse. That said, this is a much better card, and I'm sure it'll see play in infect decks.
Edit: It's also fun when you draft these with Vault Skirge
