Looks overcosted, for a Break Open/Backslide. But I suppose... ooh, it can sit on the table, threatening to turn up any of your morphs even when you're tapped out? OK, that's pretty cool actually.
It's not a Break Open because it can target your own morphs; Break Open can only target opponents' morphs. It's an easy distinction to miss. Wolfsbane lets you bypass the morph cost of one of your own morphs by paying
instead. Also, as you mention, it lets you threaten a bunch of shenanigans as you wish while tapped out.
