Ignore the the fact that it's 8 for a 7/7. Focus on the fact that you get 7 FREE 1/1s when it dies, IE . That's a free 7 life with soul warden. That's 7 artifacts or enchantments ruined with aura shards. That's 7 free damage with pandemonium. That's 7 free (eligible) creatures with wild pair.
Altar of Dementia + this card = 14 cards milled... that's right... green becomes a seriously powerful mill deck with the altar. Oath of Druids into this with a Hamletback Goliath in play like i do and you've got:
hamlet becomes a 13/13 sac wurm = mill 7 put 7 1/1s in play hamlet becomes 20/20 berserk hamlet into 40/40 sac for mill 40 47 milled ( that is, if you couldn't win with the swing of your 40/40 hamlet) of course you could just fling any thing for some serious damage too, but RG mill is a fun(ny) concept deck to play.

This card was surely the inspiration for Wurmcoil Engine, but I think Symbiotic Wurm is more fun to play. Pairs well with Wrath of God and similar board sweeps.
I one saw someone sacrifice this to Momentous Fall and three opponents scooped in response.

Not to mention next turn you can just drop overrun or titanic ultimatum and win.
symbiotic anything is good, but the Wurm takes the cake.
