"Otherwise, the player casts it without paying its mana cost if able."
Since a creature & sorcery card can only be played during your main phase and the Wild Evocation effect occurs during the upkeep phase, does this mean the player is unable to cast a creature or sorcery card? I would assume so.
I'd also assume cards with X in their casting cost would be deduced to X = 0 (e.g. Comment Storm would do 0 damage)

I can see where something like this can be incredibly powerful,
But a kick in the face later on.

This seems to me to kinda be the replacement for hypergenesis in extended because they banned it. :P

@allangeorge
It ignores the timing on a card due to card type just as hellcarver demon does, so u could cast a sorcery, but not an instant that says play only after blockers are declared because the timing restriction is not directly related to the card type

So I guess you could cast Emrakul on turn four with this. Yeah, totally:
Turn One: Forest, Birds/Elf
Turn Two: Forest/Mountain, Nest Invader, second Bird/Elf
Turn Three: Forest/Mountain, three (land) plus two (creatures) plus one (spawn) = Wild Evocation
Turn Four: hope your luck is really good, but you'll dump your hand quick enough in a deck built for this card. Then: profit!
Run a red/green deck, maybe splash blue for a bit of countermagic, but mainly See Beyond/other draw. You'd want a lot of cheap spells you can use to dump your hand, maximizing the chances of casting that ridiculous spell, be it one of the Big Three or Progenitus or whatever.

VirtueVsVice : No, the "if able" part refers to casting it if you're actually able to do so through the card itself. For example, if both players have a Leyline of Sanctity out, you won't be able to cast Blightning because it has no legal targets. Or if there's no creatures on the battlefield, you won't be able to cast Flame Slash.
If the card only let you cast instants or put lands onto the battlefield, it would cost much less. The "if able" part is redundant (if you weren't able to cast the spell, either because of a lack of targets or innate timing restrictions ala Flash Foliage, you simply wouldn't follow that part of the instruction) but many new players would get confused by being forced to ignore such an instruction.

Am I the only one who looks at the blown-up art for this card and wonders why the character has a hedgehog busting out through the top of his head? http://media.wizards.com/images/magic/M11/WP_M11_e2588rtbdr_1280x960.jpg
