I'm going to see how it plays, but it seems like this card could be a blowout occasionally, but more often it would just sit uselessly in your hand.

Green's new attempt at removal is a little lackluster in my opinion

Too many people are comparing this to Overrun when they're just not the same effect at all. It's a bad Overrun because it's not trying to be Overrun, it's a good one sided board wipe and it pushes damage through.

Combos nicely with deathtouch, but I think I'll stick with Overrun.

Hey, I think I found a situation where this is better than Overrun - archer decks with Greatbow Doyen.
Murder their creatures AND savage their life points. Nice.

I'm giving it 3.5 just cause this card does work in M13 draft. Costing (G)(G)(3) makes it much more playable than the often compared Overrun's (G)(G)(G)(2) cost. I splashed green in a W/B Exalted deck (I know this card seems completely contrary to that theme but it won me 2 games) for this, a Thragtusk and a Rancor.
Yes Overrun outright wins games, but this can too. It's not as effective, but then again Overrun isn't standard anymore I don't think.
Still, this card IS an immediate game changer. It either wins you the game outright through massive damage boost or can act as a one-sided Day of Judgment or whatever. It's a little less focused than Overrun but it's also got some more situational value in some cases.

@DoragonShinzui : One Deathtoucher could wipe the opponent's board as long as he's the only creature you attack with, since each creature your opponent controls has to block him. In the case of Deadly Recluse, he would be a 4/5, so he could do 1 damage to 4 blockers. :)

It can't even kill utility creatures, because they just tap the creature to use its ability in response, then it can't block...

They work under different scenarios/decks.
What about combining this with Brawn in the deck? Also, how many green creatures already come with trample? Build a deck with this in mind instead and you'll be doing more for the same mana. Garruk's Companion is a great example and there are trample creatures up and down the entire curve of green. If you are prepared with this card, it's just straight up better.
