Land fetching is always easy in green, even in apocalypse. He's pricey but he's begging for a Psionic Gift or something, since it's not necessarily combat damage.

Well, he costs 7 mana and if he doesn't get removed immediately he'll probably die to a 4/4 the first time he attacks. On the other hand, you're almost guaranteed to get some trample damage through, which will trigger the ability. So you'll get to remove a mid-size creature, draw a card, and make your opponent discard one. Not the worst use of 7 mana, but not the best either.
Also, has anyone noticed that they messed up on the mana cost symbols? If you look at any other multicolored card, they put the color symbols in clockwise order, starting from white, so green should always be last.

i agree 7 mana is a wee bit expensive for this guy he is a really cool card don't get me wrong but he is a 6/4 for 7 mana may be if he was a 6/6 he would be worth it

So yeah, it was printed in the same block as Flametongue Kavu! :) Unfortunately for this card, we now have Dimir Cutpurse, which is able to hit your opponent early in the game where he or she actually ~has~ cards to discard.. Then again, you can always make your opponent discards cards that you just bounced to make way for your fungus! :) By the way, this card doesn't need to deal "combat" damage to activate its abilities..

i wanna love this card... but it doesnt... i... i HATE subtler effects on larer creatures. trample+discard effect just feels weird. and an unchecked 6power trampler will end the game before the discard effect becomes too much of an issue, in a lot of cases.

This guy could find new life in a good The Mimeoplasm Commander deck. Have the legendary ooze come in as a copy of this with the counters of something like Death's Shadow and you have a hell of a force to be reckoned with.
