Patrick Chapin's leaked card to write about.

What are your thoughts? Head over to SCG and check out his article on it.

My Opinion: As soon as I read it I thought, "Man, now this is something to put me ahead in the Jund mirror in Extended".

Seems Mr. Chapin's examples also include Jund as well as Naya decks and other Fauna Shaman decks.

Then I started thinking about hardcasting this spell in the Jund mirror...and it seems like a time walk for my opponent. I tap 3, and do nothing that turn against Jund. So, in my opinion it is only good in the Jund mirror IF you Cascade into it off a BBE. This gives you immediate board presence as well as fills your hand. Hard casting this out of your hand before say, turn 7 seems suboptimal to me unless there is a way to ramp your Jund to cast this and a critter in the same turn...oh, there is...:P

This card is really, really strong. The biggest weakness of creature heavy decks are Wrath effects, and this can refill your hand very nicely, or give you something productive to do besides overcommiting. It think this card will make multiple new archetypes viable is Standard and Extended, as well as helping some existing ones.

I was also considering testing this out as a two-of in GW Little Kid. If it doesn't draw me into a Liege, then it should draw me into a Fauna Shaman and a card to ditch for a Liege. It's practically a Liege tutor! ;) But seriously, refilling mid-game and (most likely) getting enough guys to recur Vengevines seems pretty solid.
