Bit of an odd self-feeding not-quite-a-loop situation if you can get this and Khalni Hydra into play at the same time.

This is much better than it seems. It can often produce a ton of mana, and it can come out turn 3 with a mana dork such as Elvish Mystic. At 4 toughness, it is out of bolt range, or in standard, Lighting Strike. This is very strong in a mono-green deck with Polukranos, World Eater and green heavy cards like Kalonian Tusker.

Nice, nice, very nice. I wonder if this will fit into my Jund dragons casual deck...(xenagos is definitely going in).

A mana dude that works with other mana dudes.

I guess he is ok in limited, but best in Commander decks. Though even year it's not quite reaching the power of certain other ramp cards, due to only working in mono green, being quite slow and vulnerable.

For modern. God hand obviously.
T1: Forest Llanowar Elves, Arbor Elf, or Elvish Mystic
T2: Forest, Elvish Archdruid
T3: Forest, Khalni Hydra
T4: This, Whatever other 2 drop you want.
T5: Produce 18 green to drop whatever you want. Ideally Emrakul, The Aeons Torn

I decided to build a (Standard) deck around this. The core of the deck is
4 Elvish Mystic
4 Voyaging Satyr
4 Sylvan Caryatid
3 Verdant Haven
3 Karametra's Acolyte
4 Nylea's Disciple
2 Polukranos, World Eater
4 Garruk, Caller of Beasts
3 Nykthos + 19-21 other lands
Now for the remaining 8-10 cards, insert your favorite fatties or giant spells, doesn't even matter which color since this deck has 5-color support (and room for shocklands). If it is too big for this deck, it just can't be played anywhere. Or go even further with Triton's Tactic untap shenanigans and try to generate 22 mana for an X = 20 Clan Defiance.

Play this, play a Deity of Scars, Oversoul of Dusk, or Deus of Calamity, tap it to play another one.

We all know what you can do with this in standard, but imagine.... this thing is hypothetically playable in modern. Green Demands more hard mana than any other color, and this gives you access to all of it. Leatherback Baloth. Primalcrux. Khalni Hydra. Deus of Calamity and any other Shadowmoor Demigod that supports green. You can use these things and other, smaller mana dorks to ramp out all of the above, then drop an Eldrazi Titan like Emerakul, a seriously pumped Primordial Hydra, A Gelatinous Genesis unlike anything ever seen by non-infinite decks, and pump an Omnath to the size of texas. Throw in a few Asceticisms to protect your stuff and away you go.
