This card is amazing - drop a forest on turn 1, cast this, drop another land, cast Birds of Paradise or Llanowar Elves and on turn 2 you already have 5 mana to use. Damn.

Did you notice that with a godhand you can play 3 of these on turn 1?

Correct me if im wrong, but I can play a land, cast this, and then play another land right? I dont have to wait another turn to use its effect?

HAHAHAAA wow. oh Urza's block how i miss you! of all the 'fixed' cards they made (Stroke of genius, windfall, time spiral and the like) the fixed fastbond is the only one that was TRULY fixed... and it was STILL almost too good.

How come this is 20$ pricier than fastbond if its so much weaker?!

Lol Urza's block. R&D's beloved failure.

This and burgeoning are both great. Unsure why burgeoning is *that* much cheaper though. I often use burgeoning to get out my double-mana lands (ravnica bounce lands or depletion lands) to get extra ramp. You only need that little extra boost to be 2-3 turns ahead of your opponent and those lands give you relative card advantage compared to your mana base and no tap penalty if dropped on the op's turn.
Yeah, this is usually better, but still, it's not often relevant after 2-3 land ramps. I actually may prefer Gaea's Balance for the extra temp ramp it gives.
Legacy Landfall aggro?:
T1: Forest, this, Plains, Steppe Lynx
T2: Mountain, another land, bloodbraid elf
Attack for 7, possible 11 if you cascade into something like assault strobe or colossal might
Also, fetch lands would speed it all up as well.

4 of this in your opening hand with a small draw combo means 5 lands on turn 1.
Fun stuff.
