Pretty much impossible to flip. The only thing that makes this not a complete junk rare is that a) it's a halfway decent body at 2/3 for 3 and b) if you ever do flip it, it will be a glorious event that will be talked about in your playgroup for a long time. Especially now that mana burn is gone, the one in a million shot might just be worth it for having a tale of an epic one in a million shot.

This will be going in my all Land deck once Worldwake is released.

It's not intented to be flipped. Use it to suddenly reveal your hand instead.

Obviously no one here remembers "sweep" spells. Which, might I add, came out in the same block.

If I'm not mistaken this makes a LOT of mana, doesn't it?

How does this work with mana reflection?

Thank god they took out mana burn. Now I can sleep at night.
Anyway, the problem with this is flipping it, but you can use stuff like Elder Pine of Jukai or Kodama's Reach to help you out.
But once you flip it, have a mountain ready for the game-winning Blaze you can cast with your 5 forests.

My only question is... who the hell is going to have 7 lands in their hand... ever?
Powerful ability, but... nobody will pull it off with an sort of regularity. I've seen less farfetched 5 card combo's than trying to flip this thing. Besides, you can make a far more powerful combo deck than anything this could pull off. In fact, there are cards that do this one's job just as well. And considering this was back when mana burn was still alive (and before Zendikar), this was usually suicide if you didn't have a random X spell in your hand. And really the only kind that would help would be a burn spell, because not many kamigawa cards with X in them need a rediculous amount of mana. Overall, not worth the effort.
The creature is subpar too, 2/3 for 3? No thanks, I'll go with something decent.
1/5

I hate the fact that all three rare flippers in green were so highly unlikely. We've got ten creatures, ten lands, and this is the worst of them.

Sweep will flip this card, you just need a way to put multiple lands into play in one turn (and green has a lot of those). Life from the Loam also helps.
Edit: Treasure Hunt is another card that aids in fliping this.
Edit (again): Manabond. For when you manage to flip this.
