Really bad. They could have added landfall or made it trigger from landfall at least. Then it would be somewhat interesting in terms of power. As is, this thing should be 1 mana, or even 0. Card disadvantage for conditional creature pump? Damn, this is bad.

I just pulled this in the worst booster pack I ever opened. It could only be worse if somehow I managed to get both Rod of ruin AND Razor boomerang in it at the same time :D

This stinks. My first pack of M13 I get a Thragtusk, and in M14 I get this in my first pack.

The obvious combo for this would be Flickerform and any number of auras that have enters the battlefield effects.

The flavour text finally makes sense to me. It came to me in a vision...
The time was 7:34 pm, Friday Night... at my comic store. I was playing M14 draft.
The person I was playing played this. When we were building our decks, I remember telling him to not to play this unless you had a decent amount of Enchantments.
"Bro," he said ironically, "I got this".
First match was against him. He was playing Bant colours. Early in the game, he played this. To no surprise, it had nearly no effect.
I was nearly done killing him. But then something happened...
Turn 9, he said, "So, you believe you have the upper hand, eh?"
"I do. I have three creatures: A Serra Angel, a Warden of Evos Isle, and a Griffin Sentinel. Sure, I have no cards in my hand, but... well, I don't mean to be arrogant, but you're at 4 life and I'm at 16..."
"See, you simply see a situation as it is. You gaze upon the forest and see trees." He then proceeds to... (see all)

I feel like this is meant to help out the combo between Simic Manipulator and Agoraphobia. Easy creature control that can be played fairly early.

Maybe it's because I own an enchantment deck but... This seems okay to me? Not 1.x bad at least.

Maybe usable in a deck based on JOU's constellation ability word?

I can think of at least a few fun card interactions in BUG or even just UG using this card. Makes bad enchantments like Mana Bloom into reusable counter engines, and makes Krasis Incubation always have more upside than downside.
