Maybe now with mana burn gone, this guy will get a better rep. I like him, he's great in Commander and probably has his uses in the right kind of Naya deck in Legacy (looking at you, Fires of Yavimaya)

Two sided so you have to watch out for your opponent doing more than you.

A friend of mine has one of these.
The problem is, he plays it in a Mono-Green EDH deck, which is kind of stupid.
I tell him, "There's this card called Vernal Bloom. It's an enchantment, so it's harder to kill, and it just helps green, aka your colour."
He said, "Well, I think this is better. Strictly, in fact. You can't block with an enchantment, eh?". I kind of wished to slap him, but... 'SIGH' WHATEVER.
So he took that deck apart and made a Green/Black edh deck with a similar effect.
Guess who's in it?

Absolutely awesome in EDH. Despite the fact that this card seems to suggest play in a Naya deck, I think it is actually at its best in a mono-green deck, where you can get away with playing very few nonbasics, and making the best use of the ability. Its biggest bane, however, is other mono players (only in Naya colors of course,) who can also make good use of the ability. In EDH, mono decks are actually sort of rare, and decks with two or more colors are filled to the brim with nonbasics. It really shines in its ability to drop huge creatures like eldrazi well before people are prepared to deal with them, or to play giant X costs on spells like Gelatinous Genesis and Genesis Wave. The Keeper is an absolute MVP in my Azusa, Lost but Seeking deck, where it is the quickest and most convenient mana doubling target in the deck. It is easily tutorable with Green Sun's Zenith, Worldly Tutor/autocard... (see all)
