Woozle evasion, can also function as a replacement woozle if yours is stuck in traffic. Is the lack of UEOT deliberate? Probably, since it's a fairly weak effect under normal conditions. I have NO clue how the layering works though. "I changed it with this, the woozle changes it, I change it with this again... head explodey"
Actually, the lack of EOT was an accident. This was just showing how even innocent cards can become aggregant when matched up with evil decks. Since I accidently made it permanent, though, I guess it stays permanent. Wizards has done that before on at least one card that they owned up to and errated after the fact (Oboro Envoy). I wouldn't be surprised if they made the error again, and decided it was better to let it just sit like that on the card, because the effect itself wasn't broken.
Come to think of it, this is also anti woozle tech: being able to rename stuff in response to a "all things with the same name as" spell is a good threat against it.
I mean, ok, lots of these cards are so strong they could probably go in lots of different broken decks, and I want to avoid saying "I know how to beat boney: play boney!" :) But this one makes sense because as a land it can go in any deck easily.
I'd say it's playable in, say, a green midrange deck even with no uses for black mana. Anything costing or higher can be cast fine off this and sufficient Forests. If Echoing Decay and friends are tournament players of the day, I could see this being played as preeemptive hating of that.

It can, but it doesn't produce colourless so sideboard at best unless you're black. Preferably splash black, as it filters nicely.
