Should be a mid to high limited pick. Sure, it's just ramp. It's not a bomb, or removal, or an evasive creature.
But what do you get for your turn 3/turn 4 mana investments?
*Ramp in any color
*Fixing in any color
*Card advantage
*One turn one-creature Fog (by blocking, and then saccing to ramp)
Combine this with it being in a set with high, strong costs such as Bestow and Monstrosity, and... gah, can't wait to play with it in limited.

I think the {3}'s even him out pretty good, but he seems like he could work in just about any EDH deck, especially 2+ colored ones.
Also, this guy with Gift of Immortality is dope.

Monstrous/Bestow enabler and color fixer in Limited. I'm down.

Mana Moose is awesome in limited; it ramps and fixes with any colors, and it has a pretty good body on it. It puzzles me how killing a random deer made out of metal retrieves land, though.

as pointed out already, this is great in EDH -
but, no one has mentioned Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle yet, so boom...
BOOM!

5 color control with Trading Post and Tenacious Dead to get this thing back? I have said it had to be good, just fun.

The ability is a teensy bit expensive, but hey man. It's two lands from a colorless permanent, for {3} on the turn you crack it. You can even use it to chump and sac it before damage, or in a control deck as something to do with unneeded mana. It also works to shuffle for Scry. So hey, why not.

Like others have mentioned, he's great with Gift of Immortality. Even on his own though he's pretty great in any sort of Landfall deck. I use him in my Baru, Fist of Krosa EDH deck and he can really bring the pain train when Baloth Woodcrasher is on the field.
