You know what?
If you were playing Sasaya or Azusa EDH, this would usually gain you 15+ life. However, you're most likely better off just playing more lands.
Regardless, singular, linear life gain is rarely good in Limited. If you get a creature that gains you life as well, that's pretty decent.

This turn five: 5 life
Thragtusk turn five: 5 life, 5/3 creature, and then eventually a 3/3 creature

Thanks for releasing this in the same set as Thragtusk. Even easier to show a new player this card is not good.
"You say this card sucks? Why? If I have the 5 lands to play it, I gain 5 life!"
"Look at this: 5 life, a 5/3, and a 3/3, for the same cost AND you get the 5 life even if you have less than 5 lands, plus blink or bouncing effects or reanimation effects let you get insane value..."
"Wow, Bountiful Harvest sucks ass!"

I got introduced to magic through a mono-green ramp deck from a friend. Yes it had this card. Immediately after reading it I told him this card is bad. I topdecked it a second time that game.

TheWrathofShane wrathed down the relevant points pretty well about what's wrong with such cards.
They had an Arcane version of this that costs 
less before this was printed, that alone unambiguously shows how pointlessly overcosted this is. There's just no excuse for printing blantantly terrible cards like this on purpose.
