"I prefer this to Sakura-Tribe Elder because a red deck can't bolt it as soon as it hits the field. 4/5 for me."
If someone were to cast any direct damage spell on Sakura-Tribe Elder, even if it's immediately after it enters the battle field, you can sacrifice the creature in response, before their spell resolves. You'd get your land and their spell would fizzle because there's no longer a legal target for it.

Nice card. Glad to see this back as well. Get an extra land for the turn, and thin your deck at the same time. I still like Cultivate better, but this one is 1 mana cheaper.
4.0/5

I prefer this to Cultivate, but just barely.
In my opinion, the T3 move is one of the most important steps to sealing a victory.
Being able to drop a Thrun T3 rather than Dungrove has made all the difference, and I would sometimes need to dedicate at T3 to Cultivate into the proper landbase, which is discouragingly disappointing.

Classic solid card that helps basically any green deck. Very readily available and very helpful. The definition of a 4-star card.

Actually no, it is not you "may as well have played this." Because in the scenario you described, your opponent just wasted a burn spell that did nothing and you have card advantage. Or at least you didn't lose it by casting the spell. Unless you're evading creature countering spells, or all creatures are getting -1/-1 so you never have a chance to activate it's ability, I generally prefer Sakura Tribe Elder. I like my land and a chump block thank you.

Yes! The growth is back! I missed this card so much in standard.

Can rampant growth be used to put a land on your opponents battlefield
