At target, you can spend $5 for a booster repackaged with "8 additional cards." My friend bought one; the additional cards were all 6th edition summer blooms. And there were only 7.

This is better for TurboLand with Horn of Green and all that garbage. Explore... has a home in standard
@Metalevolence, that is actually pretty hilarious. I wish I could have seen his face.
As for this card, its amazing if you have four lands in your hand. Sadly, that needs some set-up usually.

combos with Seek the Horizon amazingly in my monogreen mana ramp deck.
t1: Forest, Llanowar Elves t2: Forest, Llanowar Elves, Gaea's Touch t3: Forest, Forest, tap out, cast Bloom and Seek the Horizon same turn, Forest, Forest, Forest. t4: Nine mana ready to go. Drop Omnath, Locus of Mana and pump him up to a 6/6 or drop a shroud 'chant on him. you can hardcast fatties like Primal Surge, Liege of the Tangle, Protean Hulk or Verdant Force.
hell, drop Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger and you'll be sitting on 18 mana on turn 5, barring you adding more land to this ridiculousness. you can swing with a 20/20+ Omnath, easy.
I've actually had the mana ramp deck play out as above to turn four, missing out on one forest - Gaea's Touch sacrificing for two mana ability is pretty rad for getting combos started - still, starting turn four with eight mana available is pretty much unfair.

In a similar Target deal (2 boosters, 11 additional cards, for 8 bucks, so no more than retail for the 2 packs) I once got 11 Angelic Curators. I got another later and the 11 cards were all foils from Duel Decks and Premium Decks, including 3 Elspeth, Knight-Errants, 2 Tezzeret the Seekers, 1 Rootbound Crag, 1 Sliver Overlord, and 1 Urza's Rage. I'm going to go ahead and say these results aren't typical, but still about the most amazing Magic card opening I've experienced.
