Great card for UG landfall decks. Combo this with Living Tsunami and watch it go.
3.5/5

This is cool, especially with all the fun you can have with stuff like the landfall Giant growth and teetering peeks. Swing with a 6/5 Plant token on turn 2? Yes please! (and I did it, too!)

Love this in my Mass Polymorph deck. Turn 1 token? Yes please!

I don't think this card is -quite- as great as people say; though I gave it a 5/5 for sheer unbeatable functionality in a non-basic land, and I can't quite say there's ever a green deck I've seen that shouldn't run it. And, as previously mentioned, it does combo nicely, albeit slowly, with the Ravnica bounce-lands.
People keep pointing out that it's a "free" 0/1. It's not. Since it comes into play tapped, it's a forced G for a 0/1; you do lose aggressive momentum that makes it a very poor late-game land drop under most conditions.

actually, it makes a better lategame topdeck than most other lands where you don't need the mana anyway. not like a 0/1 makes much of a difference, but it's still value.

It's a free chump block, it buffers your "real" creatures against "target player sacrifices a creature" effects, and it can attack.
That last one doesn't come in handy often, but...

Screw Summoner's Bane ; Polymorph just found a way to actually get Progenitus out turn 4!

With Avenger of Zendikar, a Ruin Ghost, and this you can make a steady increase in your army of growing 0/1 plants.

A very decent card, especially in mono green, or g/w where tokens are popular or cards like juniper order ranger.
