It's been said already, but in limited this thing is a beast, esp. with populate, and double esp. with Trostani. I lived the dream and populated 4 of these things with her on the board and ended up with over 40 life and a helpless opponent facing a beatdown. Really good with the trample enabling spells too such as the Selesnya Charm etc...

This is an amazing land that will be dangerous in the hands of pros like me because we will populate it.

This can potentially be :
3WhiteGreen
Creature - Elemental
As an extra cost to cast Grove of the Guardian, tap two untapped creatures you control.
You cannot cast Grove of the Guardian if you have already played a land this turn.
If you have Grove of the Guardian in your opening hand, you may 1 to your mana pool once each turn.
Vigilance
8/8

In this perspective, it really is a good card. Of course it has it's own weaknesses (such as unsummon effects and the two creature requirements being the most punishing of them), I still think it's more than meets the eye, and is a potential threat that can get you killed if you overlook it.

This card is good in Limited, but you are deluding yourself if you think it's good in competitive Constructed. Gavony Township is a significantly better spell-land. Vanilla creatures tend to be very bad in Constructed unless they're very efficiently costed (Tarmogoyf!). Obviously the effect being on a land makes it better, but not better than Township. Township can win a lot of games you'd normally have no business winning, whereas this token not only has more requirements to happen (six mana, sac a land, tap two creatures), it's easily dispatched by a single removal spell and can even just be chump blocked for as long as it's relevant.

Is this colorless or does the ability make it g/w?
Color types still confuse me
