This is an awesome card. On one hand, it's a kind of Green version of "Faith's Fetters", but on the other hand, it can be used as a buff. Play one of these on an "Awakener Druid", for example, and suddenly you've turned your 1/1 that's easy to burn off the board into a decent 0/4 blocker, and your 4/5 Treefolk forest is more difficult for your opponents to get rid of.
In my books, any card as versatile as this gets 5/5!

Lols when my green white enchantress deck turned an Iona into a tree. So much for green not having any gigantic creature removals.

This seems to be about the best removal green has.
This can actually be a significant buff to your creatures if you have Doran, the Siege Tower and/or Timber Protector on the field. The only thing better than a Storm Crow is a functionally 5/5 indestructible Storm Crow!
I love Lignify, it (along with Utopia Vow) allow me to keep white out of my deck.

Could work in Commander to paralyze one commander without killing it, therefore without allowing a rebuy. Until it chumps anyway. Am I right?

I highly value this card, because let's face it, how much green creature removal exists?
they should reprint this card or make a similar version of it, w/o the tribal treefolk type

I ran some of these in sideboard of my ScrybForce back in the day. It saved me from a number of Imperious Perfects out there.

The most annoying thing to me is that I can't turn Progenitus into a tree...
Seriously, this is one of the BEST removal spells in Magic: removing all abilities to a creature could also mean stopping some deadly combos (take for example Cryptoplasm or Necrotic Ooze or Body Snatcher). 5/5 for both flavor and usefulness!

I don't care if it is the dumbest move to make, but if there is a pegasus on the battlefield, I am going to lignify it.

Excellent {G} removal. Nothing was more entertaining than playing EDH and enchanting this on Doran, The Seige Tower...made a real treefolk out of him.

Great naming on this card. Lignin is the chemical that makes trees so rigid (as opposed to the cellulose in, say, flowers). To lignify something is to deposit lignin in it's cells, thereby making it stiff. Props Wizards!

only shroud and Sphinx of the Steel Wind can stop this spell (and of course, anything that destroy enchantments)
Earthquake
Day of Judgment
All is Dust
Chain Reaction
Disaster Radius
Planer Cleansing
All in standard right now.
Not to mention the other 64 creatures with 5 or greater power.
