Great, now we can extract tiny-person DNA from this sample, clone him, and open an amusement park.

In other news, this card isn't too great. You might as well run Icy Manipulator, obviously.

Fits in control decks, isn't as bad as it might first seem. Like icy, it can tap down two of their creatures at once for one of your turns at a crucial point.

Icy Manipulator is better, like others. But this one seems to be more fair to play for fun.

I'd so play icy manipulator like these other idiots suggested, but I'm out of ice cream

I disagree, Icy Manipulator is nothing compared to this card. Yes this card cost three extra manna to activate it's ability, but you can choose to never un-tap it and never have to pay any extra manna again. Therefore, if you are playing smart you will save manna (in the long run) while shutting down a scary permanent.

8 mana to shut down a non-planeswalker, non-enchantment permanent, huh? Or, I could play Desert Twister to destroy any permanent for 6 mana. And I thought that Desert Twister was expensive.

Don't get me wrong, Desert Twister isn't strictly better. It can't deal with indestructible creatures, for instance. Still, you're paying a lot for flexibility. Entangling Vines will end up doing what you need from this most of the time.

If I'm ever rich, I'm going to pay Donato Giancola to just draw hands all day. Just draw hands. Yup.
