0.5/5 for continuing to pile mechanics on green that have no business in green.

Green removal for a three drop? What is this nonsense?
...of course, it's amazing, but it has no business in green. Cards like this and Rancor make me wonder if Wizards should be allowed to print cards anymore.

Besides the obvious power of killing anything on the enemy's field. You can set up turn two with Hatching Plans and pop this during their turn for 3 cards and a 3/3 blocker. 4/5

Gets a ton better when you have a mid-class blocker that can keep the token at bay. Loses power otherwise, especially against fast aggro decks.
I used Porcelain Legionnaire with this in my mono green deck. Look for any cheap creatures that can win trades, especially for early game. Garruk, Primal Hunter also works wonders.

Planeswalkers, of course, represent an ally who supports you through loyalty. Casting a spell on them doesn't actually kill them, it just makes them give up for one reason or another and leave.
Therefore, the image in my head when you cast this on, say, Jace, is that this spell makes a huge ugly mole-monster burst out of his mouth, after which he understandably says "screw these guys" and leaves.

Kills Thragtus... erm. I also like the idea of a spell duel changing one permanent into different guises via Turn // Burn, Pongify Rapid Hybridization etc. an Ape no, now it is a Frog-Lizard, now its a 0/1 Weird.. etc

I honestly don't mind this card. It's green removal, but you also have to consider that it's technically a Green 3/3 in the right deck. Target an indestructible creature of your own, for example, or upgrade a smaller token/useless creature.
On the other hand, I do think that perhaps being a mono-colored permanent destroyer might be a bit over the top. 1BG should have been fine. We've already seen the terrors of black/green removal before, so this should have been comparatively painless.
