So wait... let me get this strait before I blow my mind... I was reading Nature's Spiral as I was looking for cards for my wolf tribal (I read one card, which lead to another, which lead to another and so on) but long story short
(A permanent card is an artifact, creature, enchantment, land, or planeswalker card.)
For 
You get a 9/9 and you can destroy TREE LAND, ENCHANTMENTS, ARTIFACTS, OR PLANESWALKER?!?! AND YOU GET ANOUTHER 3 3/3 CREATURES ON THE FIELD?!
Oh, sorry opponent, but I just destroyed 3 of your lands and/or key cards on the field, AND I got a total of 18 power on the field... wanna see what happens next turn?

Of course, you could pay one mana less and just drop violent ultimatum. Just sayin.

Think of it this way. There's no card advantage or disadvantage. You cast a 9/9 creature, and are swapping three permanents, whatever they may be, for 3/3 elephants.
Used to boost your own power, there are plenty of permanents which are less valuable than 3/3 elephants. For example, land in the late game, or a 1/1 creature that's already served its purpose (whatever that may have been). Used to screw with your enemy, there are plenty of permanents which are BETTER than 3/3 elephants. For example, land in the early game, big bomb creatures like Baneslayer, or everyone's favourite, planeswalkers.
It's a great card, and I dare say the only reason it isn't played more competitively is that huge cost.

A really really Bad Card...
Takes too long to cast.
Gives opponents an opportunity to hurt you with 9 additional damage.
For a large green creature with destroy ability it doesn't have trample.
Woodfall Primus is way way better than this one.

With Terastodon, can you destroy "Vastwood Zendikon" to have it return to your hand and put a 3/3 token into play and then play "Vastwood Zendikon" next turn? Because "Vastwood Zendikon" is a Enchantment that turns your land into a creature elemental.

Absolute beast in limited. 18/18 for 8 mana! Besides, after you play this guy, why do you need those 3 extra lands?

I honestly don't understand how someone can complain about this guy. He's a nice fatty with options: destroy what absolutely must be gone, and/or replace things noncreature permanents you could care less about for some sweet 3/3s. Serious advantage card, which is great since Green has been a little on the weak side lately.
