High risk, high reward. It can deal 6 damage for 1 mana but it's very possible that you utterly lose the card if you lose the creature.

A great enchant creature, a great card early on, the blue mages on Shandalar adore this card...

Plays nice with Leech Bonder. If he isn't blocked as a 4/4 on turn 4, he's still a 4/4 turn 5, meanwhile shrinking your opponent's critters each time, including declared blockers. Or throw it on a different critter and find a good way to tap Leech Bonder up besides attacking, and he's gravy. Merrow Reejerey

slap on Flying men and other small goons to get in extra damage early game, thats what we used it for.

here's a great example of an old card that keeps getting stronger as time goes on. Carnifex Demon

Great card. Should be brought back instead of just moaning that people don't use auras.
I still like this card. It's flavor is cool, and it is a nice way to make any creature into a huge threat for a while... power at a price, and all that. Or, if you can risk the size increase, buff up an opposing creature and watch it wither away. That trick works best on little utility creatures, like certain Commanders, etc.
So much love for the old-school cards. I wish I was in a playgroup of old-school players. Instead i have to go up against people playing all kinds of ugly cards with computer-generated artwork and BS like that.
I once drew a hand with just one island, a Cloud Sprite, and three of these. Only time outside of green that I kept a hand with one land. The unstably mutated faerie really pulled her weight during that extremely short game. The best part was the raised eyebrow when the third Unstable Mutation came down. Great card. Even better now that there are so many things that use - 1/-1 counters as fuel. 5/5

epic card, but it seems a little.... unstable...

Great card. Has been winning games for years. A 4/4 with this, Giant Growth, and Berserk swings for 20.
Admittedly back when I first started playing, I thought this was REMOVAL. I guess it could still be used that way...
Could be fun to play with Sturdy Hatchling, or any hatchling, for that matter...Could also be fun with undying. Heh.
