Sure, it's cheap, but letting everyone else drop an expensive creature for free just isn't worth it. If you can place it lategame, it works. Seeing someone play one with a hand full of non-creature spells is depressing.
Works nicely in a team game, however. Playing that Prince of Thralls or other prohibitively expensive creature on turn 4 is always nice.

My daughter just picked up this card, I am going to make sure I have my Venser, the Sojourner deck to mess with her, and flicker her wumpus.

Deserves a better rating. Doesn't give your opponent card advantage, and late game the drawback is almost non-existent. Especially great in a Golgari-colored deck with stuff like Ostracize or Last Rites.

Gather Specimens. That'll genuinely *** a lot of people off, assuming you have the 10 mana it costs to pull off (which isn't impossible with green ramp).

I have always loved this creature in hand destruction decks. Wreck their hand first, and terror anything that accidently comes out.....

Hunted Wumpus + Emrakul, The Aeons Torn. (=

Hunted Wumpus followed by a simple Cancel card could suffice (I don't think I need to link the Cancel card-at least I hope I don't have to).

Great early game card if you have a creature removal spell on hand. (Doom Blade, Terror, and Path to Exile to name off the most popular)

Before casting this, use Peek. Summon as many as you can if there is no creature in your opponent's hand.

You're really rolling the dice with this card. Back in the day my buddy liked to play these, and I lost track of the number of times he got an Avatar of Woe dropped on him because of it. Really not worth the risk.
