I didn't think alligators and squirrel... things had developed cultures.
This would be an awesome finisher in a squirrel nest/opposition deck. Spend the first 90% of the game flooding the board with squirrels and tapping your opponent down, and then when you have the mana (and after your opponent has played all their own creatures), have a nice big trade.

There is no way this is overcosted. Worth every mana, considering if you know how to make decks at all you're always getting at least three creatures. And you should definitely give them things which will die anyway, like Ball Lightning clones or unearthed creatures. Yeah, Bronze Bombshell, but also Abyssal Persecutor.

This card will end a game if used correctly... In a blue deck, trade all of your 1/1 wizards with expensive effects for their dragons and win. Or something...

No this is just a bad card, any deck built around it would not be competitive, it costs way too
much, and even after the exchange, you may have better creatures, but they will have lots of
chump blockers. It may give you a mild advantage at best, and 6 mana could be used on superior cards.

I was just thinking about what it would take to make a good living weapon deck, when I stumbled upon this card, those germ tokens are likely going to do your opponent no good, but all their best creatures equiped with all that equipment... can't go wrong.
I was gonna make it a black deck but this exchange creatures thing I'm seeing in a few blue cards really appeals to me with this deck.

If you use lots of tokens, you might be better off cutting any real creature and using Mass Polymorph.

EDH: Trading my 0/1 plants and 1/1 creature tokens for dragons, demons and their general? I think we can make a deal... >:)
This can really do wonders in EDH, gonna get this one.

Are there any rulings regarding this card and how it works in regards to creature targeting in regards to the new illusions such as the Phantasmal Bear or Illusionary Servant? Would targeting say three such illusions allow you to gain control of three creatures an opponent controls even though you sacrificed yours, as they were in fact targeted by the spell?

Oh the horrible implications if you trade anything for your Little Girl.

There seems to be a split on whether or not this card will work on shrouded or hexproof creatures. The card says "Choose any number of CREATURES target player CONTROLS" ..... I do not see where this spell targets the player, it merely pointed out to pick a player and choose 1 or more of his creatures and if one has to choose a creature for a spell or effect to take place then those creatures have been targeted by that spell or effect. It doesnt say "All creatures target player controls" it says choose and therefore those creatures are targeted for an effect therefore shroud and hexproof should apply and those creatures should be protected from Cultural exchange in my humble opinion.

"Choose any number of CREATURES target player CONTROLS" ..... I do not see where this spell targets the player" I think the "target player" part between the words in ALL CAPS proves it does target the player. So, you can't cast this if there's a Witchbane Orb around. It doesn't target the creatures, though, just like Clone, so you can have fun stealing your opp's Emrakul, the Aeons torn and Plated Slagwurms.

For anyone wondering, cards such as this that allow you to "choose" a creature does NOT mean you are targeting the creature. This means that you can indeed force a player (who is the actual target of the spell) to exchange their creatures with shroud and hexproof for other creatures, even "sacrifice when they become the target of a spell or ability" creatures such as Phantasmal Bear. Because you are simply CHOOSING them and not targeting the Bear simply finds himself under the control of another player.
