The art and flavor of this card are really cool. This is the sort of feel Innistrad is striving for, I believe. While this ability is no longer a green one, it was an important card in teaching me about combat timing when I first started playing Magic (also, it was one of the toughest creatures I had access to at the time). I occasionally still find a singleton spot for it for old times' sake. ^_^

it's +1/-2, not +1/+2 it becomes 3/5 if you want it to.

Not all that spectacular, but the flexible power/toughness trade can be useful at certain times.

This should be rated higher. 9 total power/toughness for 5 mana was normal back then, and for one mana this becomes a 3/9, able to block even today's ridiculously fat green creatures. If you can keep it safe from removal (such as with Shielding Plax), this is basically an invincible blocker.

Believe it or not, this card sucked back then, too.
