I semi-randomly have this in a deck with Stone-seeder Hierophant. Top-decked this and flashed it in to block a blue flier until I could banefire ftw. I love cards with weird combinations of abilities! I'm talking to you, Vedalken Æthermage

Around my play group, we call her "Scribbles." And what does Scribbles do? WELL.
Consider the body you're getting.
-
for a 1/1 with flying. Okay, that's a Sea Eagle. But you have to remember that green is starved for fliers. So it's average in that sense.
-Protection from blue. This isn't terribly relevant most of the time (How often is a player going to try and Unsummon a tiny creature?), but it's a lot more important when you factor in...
-...that she has flash. This is especially good in a mono-green deck, when your opponent isn't expecting something to stop their flying beaters.
Now we get to what makes Scribbles awesome.
Once per turn, she can bounce a Forest to untap a creature. The utility that this ability provides is absolutely ridiculous. Landfall has already been mentioned. Untapping a big, nasty creature after an attack (at instant speed!) to block is always welcome. She can even provide a little extra mana if you... (see all)

I'm surprised this isn't rated higher

What if-I play this card, use its abilty, boomerang it to my hand then play it again, can I use the ability again on the same turn?

Not as good as Quirion Ranger, but if you need the added redundancy of additional pseudo-copies, this card is certainly worthwhile.

So this guy has some nice little landfall tech. Allow me to demonstrate with a nice little budget deck that actually has some teeth to it.
4 Quirion Ranger
4 Skyshroud Ranger
4 Sakura Tribe Scout
4 Scryb Ranger
4 Wirewood Symbiote
4 Steppe Lynx
4 Plated Geopede
4 Adventuring Gear
4 Silhana Ledgewalker
4 Explorer's Scope
6 Mountain
6 Plains
12 Forest
If you have more money you want to throw at it, Worldy Tutor Mother of Runes and Ghost Town are excellent choices. It's not unreasonable to be dropping 3-4 landfalls a turn by turn 3. Watch out for board clearers, but single targets can be avoided with Wirewood symbiote, and you can block bounce with it as well. It's no Vintage worthy deck, but for the 15 bucks or so it'l...

I prefer seaker of skybreak. Granted it won't untap a defensive creature but it can still get out Apes of Rath again.

I like to use this in my landfall deck alone with Tideforce Elemental, Deprive, and Mana Breach.
