Here's how this would combo with gift of immortality.
turn 3: play this 3 lands, all tapped
turn 4: put gift on it, 4 lands, 1 untapped
turn 5: sac it, 7 lands, 2 untapped.
turn 6: probably you've stopped drawing lands.
sac it on your turn, 9 lands, 4 untapped, then sac it on your opponents turn, 11 lands, 1 untapped.
if you are actually able to do this, your opponent hasn't been doing much.

I saw this enchanted with Gift of Immortality at the prerelease. Its controller then played Shipbreaker Kraken and monstrositied on the same turn.
I then cried.

It's like Fertilid, except any color can use it! This .. is so insane. How did this get printed?

EDH staple. Mana ramp for non-ramping colours.

EDH Diamond, I can't see any deck that could go without this.

I threw this guy into a mono black deck with Solemn Simulacrum, Ichor Wellspring, Mycosynth Wellspring and Phyrexia's Core (Sorin Markov and Sorin's Vengeance served as a win con). Ever fail to find a basic land in mono color?
Yeah. He isn't constructed viable unless the meta suddenly calls for you to play Ranger's Path for an extra two mana but don't let this guy last to his activation cost in casual or limited if you can avoid it.

Fantastic EDH card.
As everyone else has stated.
Could become a staple. Good that it is at uncommon.
Additionally, a 2/2 for is not all bad, either.

It's a Cultivate on legs that any color can play. You just have to pay twice for it. Or recur it with Sun Titan. I'mma gonna go with Sun Titan, at least in Commander.

Pretty much every EDH deck I have will be happy to run this Explosive Vegetation given life.
Since it's an Artifact Creature, it can also be recurred with either Academy Ruins or Volrath's Stronghold.
Lastly, being an Uncommon makes this *much* cheaper to acquire than its buddy Solemn Simulacrum,
especially in foil.
