Whenever you play a spell, you may have target creature become X/X until end of turn, where X is that spell’s converted mana cost.

Yarr. I like it in a weird pseudo affinity deck where you're playing Ornithopters then next turn playing Frogmites and the next, Myr Enforcers. Seems fun!
It's fun even in mono green when you play Birds of Paradise on turn 1, This on turn 2, and then play Bounty of the Hunt by removing a card. Make the bird a 5/5 then give it +3/+3, swing for 8. Turn 3 play Summoner's Pact to get a groundbreaker, kill an enemy creature. Play Groundbreaker make bird a 3/3. Swing with Groundbreaker and Bird for 9. Berserk the Groundbreaker if you're feeling frisky and make another enemy creature a 1/1 until end of turn.
Heck, you could even play the bird. Play this turn 2 and remove two green cards in your hand to play Allosaurus Rider. The bird swings in for 7. Next turn the Rider is only a 3/3 but You can play Groundbreaker and make the bird a 3/3 too. Swing with 3/3 Rider, 3/3 Bird, and 6/1 breaker. Summoner's PAct if you need to get rid of blockers. Bounty if you just want to straight up win that turn.
This card is too fun! I like it even more because you can have multiples in play and it just gets sillier. Turn your Trolls into 5/5s while convoking out Scatter the Seeds or something.
Lol. Power out a Draco and swing with something for 16. Power out an Autochthon Wurm and swing for 15. If you were still doing Affinity you could power out a Blinkmoth Infusion making your ornithopter a 14/14 and untap it. I think my favorite play would be to turn 1 suspend Search for Tomorrow. Turn 2 Rampant Growth. Turn 3 get a land from Search, play this thing. Play Ornithopter to kill a creature. Turn 4 Play Bringer of the Black Dawn to pump the Birds to 9/9. Pay the 2 life to get Tek. Play Tek for 5. Swing with a 10/10 bird and a 5/5 Bringer for game
It also turns almost any burn spell into removal. Shock your (now) 1/1, for example. This doesn't feel green in the least. If it gave a creature +X/+X rather than setting their stats it would be more green... and broken.
Ooh... Yeah, I agree, it appears it is indeed a bit too abuseable.
What if we changed it to "Whenever you play a creature spell" or something like that? That way it avoids the whole burn abuse, at least.

Spellbook nothing, Mishra's Bauble would be the trick. Pacts too.
