Every spell with transmute is good for being an affordable tutor alone. You don't need this humble effect? Get Path to Exile, Spell Snare or whatnot instead.

Indeed, transmute is what makes this card one of the only playable cards with shrink effect.

What do they need to do to make the shrink effect viable? Because I LIKE it, in theory anyway.

Transmute may well be my favorite mechanic.

I think this card really shines against low-powered deathtouch creatures.
You: "Yeah, I'll double-block your Vampire Nighthawk to kill it but, uh... it doesn't kill anything or gain you any life..."
Opponent: "..."
A very circumstantial card in some cases, but with the added transmute... this is a winner!
I use it with Training Grounds, Izzet Guildmage and Devil's Play with muddle the mixture to search for manamorphose or counter the occassional counter that gets in the way. I usually have 2 of the combo piece and can easily transmute to combo off. Seriously this card should get worth more. I totally trollfaced a guy at FNM with this combo. He's sees only a Guildmage and dies as I can easily pull this off turn 3 no sweat.
