You probably shouldn't have gotten in touch with your inner monster.

I never much cared for the art of this card until, years after my first impression of it, I noticed the little druid in black in the lower right corner, with his sickle and glowing red eyes. Then I realized that the stones in the picture weren't just random rocks but a stonehenge style ritual circle.
Now the illustration has a connotation of ancient fertility ritual, The Great God Pan, the Black Goat of the Woods and all kinds of other sinister things that predate civilization and reason, and fit in very well with Green, but don't seem to have been explored too thoroughly. (Incidentally, I think they really missed out on an opportunity to give Green this flavor on Innistrad.)
Anyhow, if I can get one person to, like me, stop ignoring this art as incomprehensible filler and start appreciating it, writing all this was worth it.
And with that, I think I've spent more time thinking about this card than R&D did.

I had rated this card 1/5 because I didn't look at the card type, sure that a card like this cannot be but an instant; then I saw it is a sorcery, so I dropped the rating to 0.5/5...

Strictly worse than Titanic Growth and Might of Old Krosa.
