In theory can be very good at shutting down or at least slowing down a token deck. Of course most good token decks are going to have solutions for cards like this one.
Also it can be pretty effective against red with some of its lopsided power heavy, toughness lacking creatures.

I like this card because it kills faeries, and I hate faeries... Flying creatures must have magnets on them or something

Yeah, maybe they launch up into the air and smack flying creatures in the face

To brunsbr103 and Jinx585: These are smart caltrops. Sadly, (because this makes no sense) I'm putting this card into my anti-flying deck. It's a deck that gives my opponent's creatures flying so my creatures can pick them off by shooting arrows and throwing rocks at them. This card (along with a few deathtouch spiders) is supposed to deter my opponents from attacking me with their pseudo-flyers.
I could be wrong, but this card together with Cowardice should cause any creature attacking to be bounced back to thier owner's hand.

@Vampirechuld85: you are. cowardice requires it to be targeted. This does not. That would be hilarious though. Maybe cowardice and prodigal sorcerer? either way, harsh to play against.
After numerous games playing with this card, I have determined that these are not normal caltrops. These are, in fact, laser-guided, rocket-propelled, motion-detecting, heat-seeking caltrops. It's the only rational explanation for why they can hit flying creatures, shadow creatures, unblockable creatures....
@Arachi: And you have made a great combo for a creatureless deck.
I love how this card gets around just about every evasion and protection ability. And my word, that artwork nearly has me out advocating for animal rights.
I have to rate this card a 5 just because I love the idea of it. It's a nice, simple card that can be plugged into any number of decks types in casual play. And they are freaking caltrops that damage flyers, baha. So yeha, actual value is probably like a 3 out of 5. But I'm voting 5 for the cool factor of it all.
