Is this the most useless of the cycle? I think so, closely followed by Pearl Shard.

Extraordinarily weak. 3 mana to give a single creature trample is laughably weak. 3 and a Green makes you wonder why your not using Rancor or Primal Rage. Even in draft I don't see many possible uses for this. Why its an uncommon is beyond me. It should have untapped the creature or given it +1/+1 or something similiar. Doesn't even work well with Storm Crow.

Its not particularly strong, but it does stop your beefy creatures from being blocked by a 1/1 token and becoming useless. I can see plenty of uses, though I agree, it should have been a common.
They couldn't think of anything else, so they printed this. That said, how many of you have found themselves thinking an Artisan of Kozilek needed trample? It's harder to find a non instant non sorcery trample card. Even garruk is one-time. (or every couple turns).
I think it should have at least passed out +1/+1 and trample. The +1/+1 would have made it passably useful, while the "and trample" would have added some interest to an otherwise dull effect.

Easily the worst of the cycle - Pearl Shard is actually pretty damn good.
If it were common it wouldn't encourage the same kind of disgust.
Huh.
