I have no idea what you're talking about. 4/5 for 2 when you're forced to play the worst color in Magic is not imbalanced. Mono Green is a piece of shit and that has nothing to do with the creatures that it runs. It's not like Mono Green is hovering around Tier 2 status and is just one mid-sized beater away from dominating the format. No.

Tarmogoyf is a 4/5 for 1G on turn 3 or 4, and doesn't pin you on ridiculous color choices. I'd gladly give up a few power for a few turns for access to good cards instead of Bounty of the Hunt and Rancor. Legacy survived a 4/5 for 1G that was alone in its own tier of broken as a creature. Now we're used to it. I'm only even surprised when Goyf is a 5/6 on turn 3, now.

I like this suggestion because it's a good card, has an interesting ability, helps decks that need help, and also encourages players to play in an offbeat manner. I think specifically this might spring green aggro into the playable range, maybe not. Certainly it would diversify the field.

It's funny how when you discuss Goyf he somehow gets bigger without any disruption, but when discussing this creature, he's nearly an automatic StP target or will become smaller, as if someone playing him would play a non-basic. The fact of the matter is that the proposed creature is easier to make a 4/5.
That's ok. I'll try to explain it again. If you're stuck playing FOREST FOREST MONO GREEN, YOU DON'T HAVE DISRUPTION. You're green, your cards suck.

That's why this creature is likely to be the number one crop farmer in all Kazakhstan and Tarmogoyf is skipping the farming lessons to smash face.
