I believe its rather good since its ability can be used continuously

Deckthinning is one of my favorite things to do. I never enjoy drawing land after useless land when I already have plenty in. I want to pull them out and up my chances of drawing something I can use each turn. Of course Abundance is really handy too...

This guy got added to my Green Beast deck with Elvish Archdruid, mostly due my suprising lack of Elf cards to power up the Archdruid...

However, I've found him surprisingly useful. Thinning out your deck at instant speed while spitting out land shouldn't be sneezed at. I think this would be rated higher except for everyone looks at the card and thinks "landfall", rather than "deck-thinning, mana-ramp"

Try it out, he'll feed into elf abilities when you need it, and fetch land at the end of turns when you don't plan on doing anything else.

It's rather expensive, but good for landfall effects on someone else's turn (e.g. Adventuring Gear and can be hit at the end of opponent's turn if you haven't used the mana.

A lot are saying this is good in EDH but I seriously disagree. How many times are you actually going to use this ability? Probably just once or twice, maybe three times if you just haven't got anything else to do (by the time you're at 6+ mana you should). It's also terribly inefficient, and although that isn't always as much of concern in EDH it does still matter when you're paying 4 mana for a Rampant Growth. The low casting cost and the high activation cost means it does not scale especially well.

If you only ever use it twice you will have spent 7GreenGreenGreen and achieved as much as an Explosive Vegetation. At three activations Seedguide Ash would have done pretty much the same thing (with a better creature body) for almost a third of the cost. If you actually end up using it four times, investing a total of 18 mana to do so, you could have opted to instead play three Primeval Titans (y... (see all)

Dropping two mountains to Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle is ok in limited I guess...

This guy's great in a slower EDH deck. I run him in Rith, and the consistency of color and land drop is worthwhile when I get past 6 or 7 lands.
