This thing's rating is 3.5. 3.5! I give up.
Anyway, Heartbeat of Spring stapled to a 7/5 for 5 is stupid, there is some fun to be had with this guy, definitely.
Absolutely EDH material, Omnath, Locus of Mana and him are going to be the BEST of buddies.
One last thing...this guy sure does NOT look like a 7/5, he looks like he could fit Worldspine Wurm under his foot...hoof...thing. Hey, whatever, he still looks sick as it gets.

It's the same kind of deal as Howling Mine — sure, it helps everyone, but you're the one who's going to reap the most benefits.

Mana Flare on a 7/5 body with no drawbacks (aside from the potential drawback of it being Mana Flare) for just five mana? Sold!

My dream is to have a Boros Reckoner out, play this guy turn 5, then when I untap, lay land and Clan Defiance their face and the Reckoner both for 10.

Forcing target opponent to lose with Door to Nothingness before turn 10? Sign me up!

I think he's pretty good. A decently strong body for 5cmc, and the effect is really good for his colors.
Sure, he helps your opponents too, but to be honest the focus of him doesn't seem to be "play him to set up your endgame sooner" so much as it is "play him and go as aggro as you can." Getting him out early (Turn 3 seems to be the fastest in Standard), you could use the next turn to do something like...
Drop a huge Primordial Hydra
Entreat the Angels
Devil's Play/Clan Defiance/Bonfire
Play all of the creatures in your hand (then Biomass Mutation the turn after!)
Play a fatty way before you should be able to
There's a lot of things he lets you do. You just have to make sure it's something that can diminish the downside of letting your opponent do the same thing.

Hahahaha I got passed two of these guys in Draft and ended up winning 2-0 all three games. What basically happened was with both out they'd panic and waste all there spells and the next turn I'd drop 2-3 7+ drop creatures like it was no ones business.
That aside, this could seriously back fire, thank god I didn't go up against some one with Mind Grind

All I wanted was a large creature for 5 mana. I would have played it as a 4/5 without the ability. As it was, I had to wait for my opponent to mostly empty their hand before I could risk playing this.

This card is going to make a Rosheen Meanderer EDH deck somewhere very, very happy.
