Not the greatest land in the game, but its a decent life gain effect considering no actual mana is paid for it, and you get a white mana from it each turn afterwards.
Maybe able to be abused in land returning decks. Something like moonfolk maybe?
its kinda good with azusa, lost but seeking. play 1, gain 2, play this, lay 2 more, gain 4. 6 life in one turn!

An interesting thought experiment. How much life would make this better than a basic plains. Not two, I think we can agree. Would three be too much?

I love using this card in my land spam/ giant creature deck, and I have lots of other cards that can pull this back to my hand, Such as Grull Turf. My friends get really peeved when I do that over and over and over, which is what I usually do.

I now have two copies of this replacing Plains in my Zur's Weirding deck. It's a lock with any Moonfolk, though Floodbringer is my favorite. Very nice as a backup lock and even if I don't use that lock it's still free life.

Plains is better.

@ZEvilMustache I think three would have been fine, making it a Healing Salve stapled to a Plains. It would be interesting to see how much it'd be used at four, and how the metagame would change.
As is, yeah, compared to something like Halimar Depths, I wouldn't play this.

Nice art. And it also works nicely with my Sanguine Bond -deck.

I've been staring at this card for five minutes waiting for a Saltskitter to surface.

I have a hard time deciding which is better with the bounce lands, this or Halimar Depths. I finally have settled on Halimar Depths. But I still like this option.
At 4 life it would ALMOST be an auto include in most casual white decks, and a sideboard in many tournements, if only as a scapeshift/crop rotation target against aggro, if only as a replacement for Glimmerpost now that cloudpost is banned. At 3 It would be about as use as Khalni Gardens is.

easily a 4 star for use 5 for art

or if you are a fan of the Zuran Orb, Fastbond, and Crucible of Worlds combo...2 more life for playing it each time!

But great for life-gain deck.
