Strictly better then the first ideration of think twice. lol jk but, seriously.
Pulling a Evolving Wilds/Terramorphic Expanse in my opening hand I always felt cheated out of a card and it disrupted my tempo. With this, you get better color fixing (because it turns a basic land into a dual land as opposed to fetches a basic land) and it gets replaced by a nicer, more optimistic card for the low CMC of 
. As long as this in standard I will never play fetch lands for mana fixing in green EVER again. While it's job isn't exciting, it does it REALLY well. I see this getting more play when Ravinica comes out, especially in 3-5 color decks. Imagine how crazy this would have been during alara in 3 color cascade decks. Not to mention the random rare lands that do crazy stuff but unfortunately can only tap for 
. Lets green splash a color for a playset of 1 card without splitting up more lands. Good job R&D *claps*
Perfe... (see all)

I use this for my red/green Vampire/Werewolf deck. I bought a dark acension booster and recieved a Falkenrath aristocrat card and thought, aww man but then remembered aboundant growth. "Insert Troll Face Here" my Vampires just got a new friend. plus I also have Stromkirk captain in there now. Take that swamp icon. I dont need your stinkin land

Usually better than Mana Cylix, and a cheaper version of Prophetic Prism. However, the versus 
is hard to argue: Prophetic can go into any deck, while this is limited to something with Green.
Mind you, when going 5 colours, green's you more common colour (for ramping reasons).
Not bad at all, but nothing special in limited. The cantrip is all you can add to something like this.

Green surely has gotten good at fixing mana as well as ramping it. Arbor Elf with Garruk Wildspeaker's +1 ability can help you get three any-color mana out of one forest. Three of three different colors if you need.

Strictly better than Nylea's Presence, which I find odd considering the Theros block was supposed to be about enchantments.

@Lord_Skoonie
Please learn what strictly better means and do a better job of using it in the future.
