Nice card. Glad to see this back as well. Get an extra land for the turn, and thin your deck at the same time. I still like Cultivate better, but this one is 1 mana cheaper.

Yes! The growth is back! I missed this card so much in standard.
Classic solid card that helps basically any green deck. Very readily available and very helpful. The definition of a 4-star card.

Can rampant growth be used to put a land on your opponents battlefield

I prefer this to Cultivate, but just barely. In my opinion, the T3 move is one of the most important steps to sealing a victory. Being able to drop a Thrun T3 rather than Dungrove has made all the difference, and I would sometimes need to dedicate at T3 to Cultivate into the proper landbase, which is discouragingly disappointing.

"I prefer this to Sakura-Tribe Elder because a red deck can't bolt it as soon as it hits the field. 4/5 for me."
If someone were to cast any direct damage spell on Sakura-Tribe Elder, even if it's immediately after it enters the battle field, you can sacrifice the creature in response, before their spell resolves. You'd get your land and their spell would fizzle because there's no longer a legal target for it.

@infernox10 That's why most good green decks run 1-drops like Llanowar Elves, Arbor Elf, and Birds of Paradise, so you can play things like Cultivate and Dungrove Elder on turn 2. I prefer cultivate, just for the larger deck-thinning, card advantage, and it's always nice to search for 2 lands. It keeps the tempo of the mana base very high.

@EvilCowKing Of course, but when that happens you may as well have played this. And I usually find instants and sorceries more playable, and more easily replayable, than creatures with one-off effects. Therefore, I like this. :)

Not at all. In that scenario (direct damage spell to the Elder and you sacrifice it in response) they end up using a direct damage spell on nothing. With this, they still have the direct damage spell and can use it on another creature you control.

Actually no, it is not you "may as well have played this." Because in the scenario you described, your opponent just wasted a burn spell that did nothing and you have card advantage. Or at least you didn't lose it by casting the spell. Unless you're evading creature countering spells, or all creatures are getting -1/-1 so you never have a chance to activate it's ability, I generally prefer Sakura Tribe Elder. I like my land and a chump block thank you.

If you have the choice always pick Sakura-Tribe Elder, does the same and can block if needed.

This card is my baby in my Gruul deck. But would you guys mind helping me out? I need to find some cards like these for a White/Red deck. I don't need creatures I just need spells that put land on the field. Tapped or untapped. Thank you.

Cultivate combo's better with Birds or Llanowar Elves for a T3 Baneslayer Angel or some other 5 drop. Rampant growth can speed out Thrun or some other 4 drop on its own.

The card text says "your library." This means that the person who searches the library and gets the land is whoever casts the card, which normally will be you, not your opponent. The only way your opponent would get the land is if he were to cast the spell himself from your hand (achieved, for example, through the ability of Sen Triplets) or if he copied the spell with something like Twincast.

@ Lerianous: Tithe, Gift of Estates, Endless Horizons, land tax all come to mind in white. There may be more but this is a start. Red doesnt bring to mind any land-fetch spells. There is also more artifacts, such as Wanderer's Twig, than you can shake a stick at... a stick... twig? Anyone.... *crickets*
