Even without Cascade, if you're playing with small creatures you can have this out by turn 3, if not sooner. Throw it in any Elf deck and you're good to go.

Need to see him in action before rating but it seems pretty good.
@WhiteyMcFly, yes cascade works. "If you cast the last exiled card, you're casting it as a spell."

Awakening zone's tokens dont count as a spell.
Works nice with cascade and kor skyfisher
Just bought a set and cant wait to build a deck around this.

Love it. Absolutely perfect for red/green aggro decks.

Well, yay for Aaron Forsythe. I can't understand why you wouldn't want a good card to not be mythic. It's a bit ridiculous how much this game is defined by the size of your wallet. Recently, we've faced the blight of such things like The Mind Sculptor, Lotus Cobra, Baneslayer, and now this and Gideon enjoy taking a dump on your heads, too.
I wish it were an uncommon :(

Better than Bloodbraid? That's certainly arguable. Better than Ranger of Eos? Not in Boss Naya. Will this card replace the best four drops? Well I certainly hope so, it's just a cool card. Will I run green just for this creature? Maybe in constructed. Could be a 5/5. Probably overrated. 4/5
Amazing art.

Naya Zoo is an exampe of a deck that could run this well.

How is this card the best in the set? It's size is good for its cost (not to hard to play in Jund or Naya decks), but it isn't worth $35 or whatever the price is now. He might be the Lotus Cobra of this set: lots of initial hype but very useful in exactly 1 mediocre deck. I probably wouldn't play him in my mono-green deck anyway. With Garruk and Elvish Piper at 4-drops, he doesn't really have room to fit. And I'd much rather be dropping a Terra Stomper or Rampaging Baloths the next turn, either as a surprise blocker, or as a setup for Garruk's Overrun. I might sideboard him against White Weenie, but he'd just get pte'd.
What decks would everyone use this guy in?
Better than Bloodbraid? No. This guy is a 4/3 haste unless you want to lose tempo and store up creatures in your hand once he dies, or run him with Cascade creatures, or use Ranger of Eos. Jund's strength is in its ability to build up card advantage, and Vengevine cannot consistently do that.
@Nikeyeia: yes, this is... (see all)

Fits perfectly in zoo. Drop him on turn 4 when you get the mana, swing with him, and say he gets his shit rocked by a kill spell. Drop your Ranger of Eos the next turn to grab your Wild Nacatl and Goblin Bushwhacker, If you managed to get 5 mana, kick the bushwacker, pull out this shiny badass from your graveyard, swing for 10 damage. Seems like a pretty amazing combo to me, just saying.
