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.
@EvilCowKing Of course, but when that happens you may as well have played this. And I usually find instants and sorceries more playable, and more easily replayable, than creatures with one-off effects. Therefore, I like this. :)

@infernox10 That's why most good green decks run 1-drops like Llanowar Elves, Arbor Elf, and Birds of Paradise, so you can play things like Cultivate and Dungrove Elder on turn 2. I prefer cultivate, just for the larger deck-thinning, card advantage, and it's always nice to search for 2 lands. It keeps the tempo of the mana base very high.

Not at all. In that scenario (direct damage spell to the Elder and you sacrifice it in response) they end up using a direct damage spell on nothing. With this, they still have the direct damage spell and can use it on another creature you control.

If you have the choice always pick Sakura-Tribe Elder, does the same and can block if needed.

This card is my baby in my Gruul deck. But would you guys mind helping me out? I need to find some cards like these for a White/Red deck. I don't need creatures I just need spells that put land on the field. Tapped or untapped. Thank you.

Cultivate combo's better with Birds or Llanowar Elves for a T3 Baneslayer Angel or some other 5 drop. Rampant growth can speed out Thrun or some other 4 drop on its own.

@jmon027
The card text says "your library." This means that the person who searches the library and gets the land is whoever casts the card, which normally will be you, not your opponent. The only way your opponent would get the land is if he were to cast the spell himself from your hand (achieved, for example, through the ability of Sen Triplets) or if he copied the spell with something like Twincast.

@ Lerianous: Tithe, Gift of Estates, Endless Horizons, land tax all come to mind in white. There may be more but this is a start. Red doesnt bring to mind any land-fetch spells. There is also more artifacts, such as Wanderer's Twig, than you can shake a stick at... a stick... twig? Anyone.... *crickets*
