Classic ramp card. Llanowar Elves have the same ramping tied to a creature, but are vulnerable to more removal in most environments. Wild Growth also synergizes with anything that let's you untap lands - e.g. Garruk, Urza-block 'free' spells, etc.

Now that we don't have manaburn this is as safe as it gets.

I wonder how much use you'd get out of it if you placed it on an opponent's land?
I guess it'd really be too sporadic to be counted on if you need the extra mana for that Fog you're saving, but it could also be a deterrent for your opponent, kinda like green land destruction.

Meh, I'm keeping it on my own lands.
