@Totema: you think THAT's funny? Try to wrap your head around this one: it can pop out of enchantments.

How does this even work?!

There's a beast within us all, lurking just on the periphery of our hearts. Scratching just beneath the surface of your skin, wrestling with your soul for control of your body.

It's also *** green permanent removal, how about that shit?

I'm having a fun time imagining a little 3/3 beast popping out of Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle as it crumbles to the ground.

This is one of those spells that gets BETTER in the hands of a more experienced player.

Whenever you see the words 'Destroy target permanent' on a green card, something's about to be up.
Also, it's hilarious picturing a 3/3 Beast emerging from a Moat or Sigil of the Empty Throne

Great in general, but Pulse of the Tangle and any Garruk cards can trade with the token (usually at card advantage for you still.)

It really is great. When that giant Demon, Angel, or Dragon is about to hit you, it's nice to turn it into a beast that can't even fly. Even better? If you're getting mana-flooded this can eat a land and surprise kill a blocker; beautiful and actually fairly difficult to use properly. I ended up swapping it for Putrify's and Golgari Charms in my G/B.

Again, I'd prefer this in my Beast Token deck, not only because it makes sense, but because Pulse of the Tangle means I never have a problem with the beast.

This is what green has needed for a long time. Good green removal. It takes out a *permanent*, giving green a direct way to deal with planeswalkers. It is also more versatile, able to do what a Vindicate can do, at INSTANT SPEED, for only one colored mana. The 3/3 beast token is barely a drawback compared to what you can remove with this, and can even be exploited. If needed, you can even use it on one of your own permanents, including a land, to use as a chump blocker during an opponent's attack, or to remove a pesky enchantment or equipment on an attacking creature to bring it down to size during combat.

This is a good example of "just when you thought you won the game GUESS WHAT? You didn't...."

4.5/5 for excellent green removal
