That's Swords to Plowshares in a nutshell: the best single target removal spell in Magic , but sometimes you want to be the one gaining life (repeat loop) RED Red's best instants "blow things up real good." Of all the lists, this one is the most boring and repetitive
This also taps for 3 to make a 2/2 with changeling so that's sacrificial with your effects since it is a Saproling
Being able to remove a threat and replace the card in your hand allows you to keep your shields up for the next turn
Some abilities are just sign-posted to be linked with other cards in the set, like with the aforementioned Jim Hawkins, Space Traveler card, and this card is almost definitely built exclusively to get yourself a free Lucky Dime, the seven cost item that no doubt plenty of decks will be building around this set
Meanwhile, cards like Supportive Parents, from the Spider-Man set, can tap creatures for mana as another way to turn your squirrels into even more squirrels
This might backfire if Spacegodzilla, Deaths Corona holds its value while everything else drops, but that seems like a longshot to me
