it is a huge shame it has somoning sickness. but it a blocker too. i can see it being usefull, and i see it being horrible. it all depends on the hand and the play. personally as long as i get an additional forest in my starting hand with this i have no problem playing it turn 2 and attacking for 3 with my rogue elephant, doesn't slow me down too much... meh i'm sure even with 4 they wont be drawn early game as often as my forests anyway.

I would have loved it quite a bit more if it had haste and defender, or 0 power (and haste).

Hydrogoose probably took the funniest comment of all time award. Banefire for 7, every time.

Green sun's zenith: WOW.
For (G), shuffle Green sun's into your library, and get the effects of Rampant Growth that is also a 1/1 body.
Really though, with these, Green sun's is Rampant Growth for G.

I have a single of this in my EDH deck, it allows me to use Green Sun's Zenith as a very inefficient Rampant Growth...since I can tutor up this guy for {G} by letting X = 0 in Green Sun's Zenith, of course its not a great play, but it works in a pinch and if I drop him early he is a nice target to sacrifice for a Natural Order

It costs no mana.
It can't be countered.
It can be targeted by virtually any green or black fetch spell in the game. It has synergy with Life from the Loam, Fauna Shaman, Crucible of Worlds, Meloku, The Clouded Mirror etc, etc, etc.
It deserves a 5/5. Summoning sickness is a minor thing compared to the options this brings to the table. And are ya really gonna criticize a chump block against a Dark Confidant or Noble Hierarch? No. There's nothing strategically wrong with trading a 1/1 for a 1/1.
So it can be targeted by slightly more removal - but who's giving up slots in their decks for land destruction? Not very many builds these days. It's not like you're playing it for the desperate forest mana.
