OpenSeasonNoobs is incorrect. A card's splice ability can only be once per arcane spell cast. So you can only use Roar of Jukai up to four times when you cast Reach Through Mists, and even then you would need 4 of these in your hand.

use with infect to avoid disadvantage of splice

I like it. Great with trample, decent without it. Opponents may expect you to pump a creature or two up, but if you attack with a bunch of weaker creatures they won't expect you to pump up ALL of them. I could certainly see this destroying opponent's creature unexpectedly if not trampling them to death.

Very interesting. This is one of the few cards in modern that can force your opponent to gain life, and quite a bit of it too. Attack with a Kavu Predator, if they block you drop Kodama's Might and splice this onto it. The Kavu gets +4/+4 and 5 +1/+1 counters for {G}.

Also the card says 'blocked creature' not 'blocking creature'
So he fails twice

I would love this for my green/blue mill.
Naya swings at me with a bunch of 2/2, 3/3 and one Viashino 14/11 trample, I cast Reach Through Mists and splice this 50 times, they gane 250 life, my creatures demolish theirs, and I proceed to deck them now that I've wiped out a Naya deck since it has no draw engine.

Such a horribly specific card. This SO needed to grant trample. At best, you can hope to combo in an Overrun effect so the added trample gives this some purpose (if you went the splice route), otherwise you MIGHT kill off a wall or you'll probably just overkill a chump blocker or two by even more. And why the Forest condition? What purpose does that serve? Would it REALLY be that overpowered splashed in another color deck? REALLY?
I hate to call any card trash, but when it's only really functions on a full moon during a July snowstorm, you can't say much else about it.

Works well when combo'd with Kodama of the South Tree. All your creatures other than the Kodama get trample and +1/+1 from spiritcraft. You then finish off the overrun effect with this. Better when you use the splice of course.
What this card suffers from is a lack of good Green arcane to splice onto. Green/red or green/blue will get better use here.

I quite like this card. With 3 creatures blocked you're giving a total of +6/+6 for free by giving your opponent 5 life. I'd gladly give my opponent 5 life if it means killing 3 blocking creatures and completely crushing his board state. Also works great with Kavu Predator as I think others have mentioned, but keep in mind that you won't have the Predator each and every game, so you've got to consider if this card is still useful for your deck at times when you're not attacking with one of those.
