A five star card in the right mono green deck. *****

This card can be huge in legacy decks with the proper new landfall cards

On turn 3, you can have 6 mana using just this card alone. Wow. Probably best in casual, since exploration is better, but seriously...wow

With mono green this is so much better than Exploration for acceleration. Exploration will give you maybe Four lands on turn two so four mana. With Gaea's Touch you have five at worst and if you start with an Elvish Spirit Guide you have at least six mana by turn two (assuming 4 lands in the first 8 cards). You can do even better with a lucky draw since Touch banks mana for you.

Being able to sac it for gg is significantly useful if youre running 4 in a deck. You always have something you can do with extra copies, as opposed to it being just like another useless card in your hand like extra copies of sylvan library, etc.

Mono-green:

T1: Forest, Llanowar Elves
T2: Forest, Gaea's Touch, Forest, Nature's Lore for a Forest
T3: Forest (or sac the Touch) Primalcrux

7/7 or 9/9 Trample on T3 usually makes people slightly angry :-) Even better to follow it up next turn with ANOTHER 'crux. Two 13/13 or 15/15s on the board T4. Sure, Exploration could do the same thing, but this card is hands down cheaper to find.

The best play I recently had with this card was:

T1: Forest, Bird
T2: Touch, Forest, Forest, Natural Order, Progenitous

A turn 2 Progenitous is worth giving this card 5 stars.

"On turn 3, you can have 6 mana using just this card alone."
I count 5 mana, or 7, depending on whether or not you sacrifice it.

Dang, this card screams efficiency. If it didnt have the 2nd ability it still would be good, with it its fantastic.

This is only 50 cents too.. Man

T2 Forest, Touch, Forest (sac touch) Overgrowth (tap arbor elf to untap overgrowthed forest) OVergrowth 2
T3 Primal Surge, put entire deck except to cards on field.
T4 swing for 100+ damage

Excellent in enchantress decks; with even a single enchantress or enchantress' presence out, this replaces itself completely while letting you play an extra land that turn (and land tends to build up in your hand in those decks.) With more, it's free card-drawing.

Gaea looks strangely creepy.

Appropriately costed, as GG is what you'll be saying if this resolves
