Desert Twister... Creeping Mold... Venomous Vines... Chain of Acid...

Wrath of Gaea
2GG
Sorcery
Destroy target nongreen permanent.
"I oft admire how nature, wise and frugal, could commit such disproportions."

I really like the name, and this is one of my very few attempts at flavour text (I just don't know who to attribute the quote to...)

Green doesn't normally deal with creatures, but it has (conditionally) in the past:

Trip Wire
Wallop
Wing Snare

and Opochtli's Snare from the Master List...

This seems slightly undercosted. Compared to Creeping Mold (2GG), this:
a. cannot destroy green enchantments, but
b. can destroy nongreen creatures.

With Desert Twister at 4GG, I think this could sit comfortably at 3GG.

I agree...mold limites you to all permananets but one type, but this limites you to any color (including lands and artifacts), but green meaning it has more targets than mold...this should cost 3GG.

Okay, I can do 3GG. But if I made the mana cost 1GGG could I get away with a converted mana cost of 4? Or is 3GG just better?

I thought Strafe would support 2GG, but then I remembered that Strafe is a Sorcery and can only target creatures, not players (and therefore sucks).

1GGG means it will never, ever be used in anything but monogreen. That sucks, who wants to open a card they'll likely never use?

Green has pretty much never had targeted removal or damage spells/abilities that could hit non-flying creatures, except Unyaro Bee Sting. (And, uh, Bee Sting from Portal.) I don't think nongreen is a good enough drawback to suddenly break that restriction.

Green has Desert Twister, which, although it hasn't seen print for a while, is still targetted non-flying creature removal.

I like it at 3GG.  I think it's a powerful effect at a good cost, and I've always loved Twister.
