After playing Ulvenwald Tracker for quite some time in cube and of course casting Prey Upon in both Innistrad and M13, I have to say I'm in love. I recently cut Tracker for Master of the Wild Hunt and it occurred: play Prey Upon.
I have hardly seen this card in many lists, but I'm not scared of trying stuff that isn't popular.
to me, it just kinda looks like another tool for green ramp and midrange decks to punish aggro decks, which they already do well anyways. I like it, I just don't think it's necessary.

Pretty much exactly this.
Green needs help against control a lot of times, not against aggro. We cut Phantom Centaur and Blastoderm a while back from my 360 because they were incredible against aggro, but green didn't have problems losing there, and they weren't awesome against control. Prey Upon seems like the same type of card, although not entirely detrimental to *only* aggro, it does seem like it is more anti-aggro than anti-control, which is where green could use a tiny bit of help, imo.

I'm always open to suggestions on how to improve my cube. Take a look and ask a question, or give a constructive critique whenever you can.
It needs to be an instant, and even then I feel it would be worse than Tracker -- a card I just cut.

Not such a hot card for all the reasons mentioned above.
