It's powerful, but not over-powered. It only works on creatures that have powers four or greater; if you have a significant number of creatures with power four or greater getting offed, you deserve cards. It's more powerful than Fecundity, but not that much considering it costs one more mana and doesn't do anything to help when your little utility elves get offed. If you only have a few big threats or some kind of recursion, then Bequeathal becomes a possibly-better option.
I love it because it shows what an aggressive green stompy deck can do with card advantage, making all the control players who are used to having a monopoly on card advantage cry that it's broken.

it doesn't say anything about speed limitation, so if it's possible it be an ok response to removal.

This.. is another over powered card they didn't test long enough before they printed it. Why is it overpowered? It doesn't say pay mana to sacrifice your creature.. you can do it whenever. Meaning your opponent can't play any removals on your creatures without you simply sac.ing it for card draw. This turns things like emeria sky ruin, debtors knell, reveillark, and various other revival cards totally insane since nothing can be exiled, and you get continuous card draw. Also plain nuts with dominus of fealty and sarkhan vol and sower of temptation. You take your opponents card, sac. it, and get card draw for it.
It would have been fair if it said, pay 3 colorless mana, sac. a creature. draw 2 cards. As it currently is, its plain to powerful. It hits play and every removal just = card draw. Have to see it in play to really understand how insane that can be. This is actually the exact same reason they made ooze garden only playable at sorcery speed.

I really like it with Nacatl War-Pride and Briarhorn, and its great after an Overrun. Solid cards, one of those combo pieces that can be exploited repeatedly for powerful and decisive victories. Builds decks that 'go off' all at once.
