The reason for banning cards as I understand it is to allow for a more varied metagame and make creative deckbuilding relevant when compared to pure luck.
It kind of defeats the purpose of having a lot of cards to choose from if only one archetype is ever going to be successful.

Sliiiight difference between this and fauna: this can be used multiple times in a turn...this is stronger, the lack of a chump blocker is balanced by survivability...altho unlike fauna this cant cycle copies of itself. still. strong.

This card should read - G: choose one or both - put a creature you want into the graveyard for combo shenanigans, or search your library for a creature that will be much more useful much sooner than the one you discarded.
I'm mostly a standard player so I've been playing with Fauna Shaman for a while and loving her, but Survival? The ability to do it as many times per turn as you can pay for it? It's just awesome.

Perhaps the most gruesome card art I've seen yet.

This, Food Chain, and that crazy madness 0 lizard.
G, discard find the rootwalla
G, discard (ie play) rootwalla to find another
G, repeat step 2
G, once more
G discard rootwalla for something good.
Exile Lizards for 8 mana to cast your creature
PS your turn one is forest llandwar elf, turn 2 forest Food chain, 3 this card step one, turn 4 forest and steps 2-5.

Vengevine along with a super flexible toolbox caused the deck that centered around this card to become dominant in the Legacy metagame for a while. Something like 80% of the top 8 decks were survival decks for some time.
