and then green got unconditional spot removal. a 3/3 green beast is a great swap for a jace the mind sculptor or any of the titans. also good in limited to provide yourself with a 3/3 beast if you're desperate.

Just awesome.
Green had so few answers to creatures (barring artifacts that all colors had access to), and now it gets one that's cheap and an instant. But that's not all: it hits 'walkers directly, which was something that green could not do well outside the combat step. It's looking like a fantastic card for any permutation of casual / multiplayer / EDH formats.

Pongify in green, except its permanents now. This will see lots of play.

Finally!
Green's only "answers" were normally just having really powerful creatures to out-power opponents' creatures.
Wizards gave a few bones in the random form of psuedo-removal or such.
Now they threw green a whole flippin' skeleton.
Sure, a 3/3 beast is still somewhat of a threat,
But in exchange for their combo piece, planeswalker, etc. it's definitely the less of two evils.

In limited, you could use it on your own Darksteel Relic for fun.

The flavor's all that's keeping Pongify ahead of this on my list of favorite removal spells.
It sorta makes sense- Green's had experience with noncreature removal, and using this on a creature is sorta like a Lignify.

One of the few cards I really like in this set. It will find a place in quite some of my EDH/Commander decks.
