Green DOES get the best creatures :)
City of Brass =>> Birds of Paradise
Dramatic Entrance =>> Elvish Piper
Survival of the Fittest =>> Fauna Shaman
Explosive Vegetation =>> Primeval Titan (who should name 'Forests', not 'lands'. Fetching Shocks is fine, fetching Maze of Ith and Valakut the Molten Pinnacle is not)

As Thoctar said, this is a card that NEEDS to be bolted. And just cause it gets bolted doesn't mean it hasn't helped you.

I love it how everyone mentions lightning bolt as their first choice for "dies to" lines.
I also love how everyone assumes they will ALWAYS play against a red deck XD
I barely play against red decks in my tournaments, and if I do, I actually would drop a fauna shaman first so I know my elvish piper hits the board with less opposition XD. plus, if you want this broad to work fast and not catch aids for all the lightning bold dicks out there, just run the good ol' equipment LIGHTNING GREAVES! if they don't kill her as soon as she hits play they can't touch her and she can use her ability the turn she comes out.
BTW Lightning bolt dies to lightning greaves XD

See, it's bad enough to make an easily-recursive abusive creature power -
It's a whole other thing to make her as efficient as a Grizzly Bear in P/T!
She has NO BUSINESS being a 2/2 - most ability-creatures in the history of magic have been 1/1's (or 0/1's) - where do they get off making her a 2/2 for 2 CMC on top of the plenty-powerful ability?

Drew a Birds of Paradise late in the game? No, sir, now this is a Terra Stomper or even a Gaea's Revenge

I know we have powercreep and all, but why have a 2CMC 2/2 with such a game winning ability, clearly undercosted?
Answer: Elf.

Not bad. Yes, bolts can kill her. No, that doesn't automatically eliminate her usefulness. Doom Blade owns Baneslayer Angel, as does a Cunning Sparkmage with Basilisk Collar. But that angel's still a 4-of in most appropriate decks. This is the same thing.
And the angel doesn't have haste, either.
Oh, and Wratharrow, Obstinate Baloth needs to be discarded due to an effect an opponent controls. This isn't quite the same, sorry.

Poor bears. Elves will always be better.
When we return to Ravnica, and the Izzet and the Simic have gotten together to make Bearelves, the 2 mana 2/2 will have an ability that will have no use whatsoever
