There's no greater feeling than Exploring right into a land you really needed.

Only better than Rampant Growth if you have more lands in your hand.

The point of this card is not to fix mana, at least not from what I can see. If however you need to thin your deck then you might as well do it while getting yourself an extra mana to boot.

When you don't really need ramp anymore, you can just cycle it for 2 (already putting it above Edge of Autumn). If you have an Oracle of Mul Daya, they stack together and let you dig deeper into the top of your deck. And the built-in draw is very nice for dredging a Life from the Loam or dodging Mindlock Orb effects.
If you're not into those interactions, Rampant Growth (in multicolor) or Nature's Lore (in monogreen or with shocks) should be higher up on your list, for being more consistent and fetching the land you want at the right time (nothing sucks more than missing two land drops on the same turn).

One of my favorite cards ever printed, a fair, green Time Walk. There are also few better feelings than Land, Explore with no more lands in hand, rip land, slam land.

One of the biggest things about this card is that it lets you play additional nonbasic lands. Look at it a little bit like sylvan scrying compared to rampant growth. Rather than tutoring for specific colour fixing or for a specific land that forwards your combo, you can use this in a deck that just has a lot of nonbasic lands that you want in play.
Me? I use this in a peasant cloudpost deck. The goal is not to get another forest or island, it is to get more cloudposts/glimmerposts into play on a turn. That way, the following turn is extremely powerful.
Another card in that deck is expedition map. It goes great with cloudpost because I can tutor up more of them, and I can also use the map with all the colourless mana I can generate (or mana fix myself in an emergency off of 0 coloured mana).
Another point for explore is that if you run car... (see all)
