Lame. Would rather have Acidic Slime back.

I love the flavor text reference to Grave Bramble. Always happy to see more Innistrad!

Acidic Slime doesn't destroy planeswalkers.

One of my favorite removal spells. If the format slows down like MaRo says it will, this will be excellent after rotation. 4.5/5.

Almost always will have a relevant target. With limited mana fixing in M14, this can really screw someone over in limited if they have only one of a certain land type. 4/5.

While white and green creatures becomes better and better (actually, I'm not complaining very much here), black and red destruction are getting worse, while white and green ones are getting better... While this one can't destroy creatures, it's a Desert Twister for less, and green has better creatures than almost every other color, so it's not exactly a problem. White gets some of the most abusable removal (like Path to Exile and Fiend Hunter) and Green gets some of the most versatile ones (like this and Beast Within). And red? Shock and Searing Spear? Really...?

4/5
I play almost always red and blue, and I'm so envious of the quality of green and white removal...

Good to have around. Belongs in the core, for sure.

AzureAngel17 is correct. This flavor text is wonderful

this destroys.....a lot. I am not sure whether we should have cards so close to Vindicate in the Core Set or not?

I don't mind having the ability to deal with any kind of permanent spread across 3 mono-colored instants, but having them all-but-creatures on a Green sorcery, when your Creatures should be killing their Creatures?.....meehhh...is that Core or not? I'll go look up Xth to see if there's precedent. >.>

While unlike Acidic Slime it does not have a 2/2 deathtouch body, costing one less and being able to destroy Planeswalkers, which is a permanent type that green has a tough time dealing with short of smashing into them, is very reasonable.

4/5

Leomistico: Have you ever seen a green Doom Blade? A green Lightning Boltor Smelt? Let's not pretend green just has better removal than black and red. Red has removal that doubles as direct damage, and black can actually kill creatures. Red and black definitely fall short in the enchantment removal field, but red can handle artifacts and planeswalkers with ease.

I like that green has a good way of dealing with planeswalkers.

Great removal spell for green... Keep in mind that Green is the King of Mana Ramping so coming up with 4 mana to remove anything other than creatures including planeswalkers and lands is pretty reasonable...

This could see competitive play.

Bramblecrush can nab planeswalkers. However, Creeping Mold can hit artifact creatures! Whichever one is better is more a matter of personal preference.

Awesome flavor text! Laconic rules text. Excellent.

Strictly aesthetically superior to Acidic Slime.

Good god. This card is a nasty piece of work. For 4 mana it can rebalance so many games. Can rob almost any combo of it's crucial part, knock down a "ready-to-pop" planeswalker, or take a bit of wind out of someone sails early game by swiping a land.
Lovely green, in flavour, cost and function.

4/5. This card is insanely good. At it's worst all it does is destroy a land. Let me repeat that sentence, because it is kind of extraordinary: at its worst, you destroy a land. Generally speaking, destroying a land is not too shabby of a turn. Sure, you can miss with this and hit the eighth mountain of a fast red deck. But that is definitely the exception with this card. It's kind of like saying that doomblade is crappy against mono-black decks. Duh. You kill planeswalkers, detention spheres, nykthos, shrine to nyx, all of the gods' weapons. PLANESWALKERS, folks. You could side in your Bramblecrushes against Esper to keep them off of their white or black in the early game. Combined with mana-acceleration, this can easily slow down Supreme Verdict for a turn, and, in green, that can just win in an ever-so-green-style way of countering the un-counterable.

Note the color-reference in the art, too. From the lower left corner, clockwise, we go: blue, white, black, red. Those are the "lots of things" that this card abhors.

The flavor-text is funny, too. I'm on the fence with this one though; part of me wishes that it was one of those "this card is so badass it doesn't need flavortext" cards. The effect really does speak for itself.

Kills plainswalkers. Nuff said.

@Phelpan: Planeswalkers. I don't think Zodiac Rooster has to worry about a Bramblecrush.

Destroy target planeswalker

I ran a crappy Werewolf deck in a tournament one time and main decked 2 of these.
I killed Blood Crypt with it (his only red mana) Crippled him for the rest of the game.
When I beat him he was like "WHO THE HELL PLAYS BRAMBLECRUSH ANYWAY?"
I laughed so hard at his rage quit and kissed the card.
