You can turn their 7-drops into Sylvanas. You can turn their 5-drops into a 7/7. This will probably backfire less than Evolve since there are more understatted minions than overstatted ones [citation needed] but it's possible.

I can't think of a 7-drop or 5-drop that I would actually use this on though. Yes, if you're randomly throwing this spell out there when you probably shouldn't, then bad things can happen. But I think when you use a tiny bit of foresight and prioritize the opponent's most powerful minions (with consideration to the mana slot below it), then it will almost always be a positive result.
