Remember, they don't have to die from this card to have the "cannot be regenerated" part trigger. You can use this then do the rest as combat damage, or with followup spell/ability. With the deck's removals almost entirely be done via damage, Regenerators like Mortivore and Cudgel Troll, are not as much of a game ending threat for mono-decks. Situational but still 3 damage for 
at instant speed isn't that bad.

Dear Chandra Nalaar,
We would like to thank you for your efforts as Chief of Red Flavor Text since hiring you in 2009. We understand that it is a difficult project to toss out pithy one-liners whenever you ignite, burn, or otherwise send a person, object or location up in smoke. It is therefore with regret that we must inform you that our reviews of your performance have not been favorable, compared to the industry standards set by your predecessor, Jaya Ballard, Task Mage. As such, it is with heavy hearts that we must ask for your resignation.
Sincerely,
The MTG Flavor QC Team

I think Cudgel Troll is the only creature that regenerates in M12? Well, at least it has 3 toughness.
Not that I don't like this card, but couldn't they have printed something with a bonus that's more relevant for the set's limited format, or at least Standard?

more flavourful and balanced than lightning bolt. Preventing regeneration is a plus too.

Haha, yeah, that's right, Cudgel Troll!
I actually have a monogreen deck that has a couple Cudgel Trolls. Friend of mine always uses this on him. It's so weird to see the no-regenerate clause actually, y'know ... matter.
