The idea is to punish creature-less opponents with a cheaper Naturalize while letting opponents with creatures interact. It's kind of a design trap since it's even less reliably worth a card than Naturalize is, but I liked that it could tell a story by combining two green effects in this way.
Could this work?

That's a much more natural wording! Unfortunately I don't think "may prevent this effect" is well-defined in current Magic templating. It reminds me more of Alpha wordings on things like the Circles of Protection.
