According to Mark Rosewater in a 2002 article I found in the Daily MTG archive, it was supposed to be “Make Me a Force (of Nature).” It is a rather less obvious linkage though.

I always thought it was supposed to make the creature closer to Child of Gaea. The regenerate makes more sense than Force of Nature.

Nope.

It's definitely 'make your own monster; Child of Gaea edition.'

Look, they both have the same artist, Paulo Parente.

I hate creature enchantments because of instant speed removal in response to the enchantment being casted. It's a beast if it sticks, but I really wish it had split second. Maybe that's asking for too much though.

Much like the almighty Storm Crow, I'm demanding a reprint of this card.

Green seems to have gotten all the amazing enchantments in this block.

Combos with plated slagwurm to end your opponent's miserable existence.
