How Gaffy said, this is absolutely ridicolous in a ramp deck with batterskull.

From the comments so far, I can tell you're all quite a lot more level-headed than I am. My reaction to pulling this from a pack was

"Creatures you control enter the battlefield as a copy of Essence of the Wild."

WHAT

@ MarilynMonroe: Actually, if your EDH game has enough players, this happens:

1. Get Doubling Season and Parallel Lives on the field
2. Opponents start saving powerful spells
3. Get Essence of the Wild and start making 6/6 tokens minimum (they could be bigger; you're playing green)
4. Paint a huge target on yourself and get killed by the spells your opponents saved to deal with you

But yeah it's EDH gold

@Gcrudaplaneswalker, um no. Arrest doesn't stop his ability from happening, as it's triggered not activated.

Personally, Sever the bloodline aside, how can you not like this guy? Especially considering how many new token generators have debuted in Innistrad, along with Doubling season's little brother, Parallel Lives,

Hey guys, check out my Army of the Damned!

Oh, and to the Endless Ranks of the Dead guy: That doesn't work, because you never control any Zombies because all your creatures are Essence of the Wild. You'd need a Conspiracy too.

Parallel Lives, Doubling Season, and Awakening Zone in EDH.

Oh what's that? It's not enough for you?

Add in Akroma's Memorial or Brawn or Primal Rage

Best part? It can all be with Green Mana, the color known for having enough to pull it off. EDH, destroyed.

I don't like the flavor of this card. The "Essence of the Wild" is anything but uniformity. A bunch of vanilla 6/6 creatures doesn't seem too wild to me.
