Unless you're going to make an infinite mana combo with Oboro Breezecaller and a land that produces at least two mana, or use a deck that allows playing more than one land each turn, this is a rather bad choice as mana ramp.

Two of these would work well with Thawing Glaciers.

You can use Life and Limb to combo with this in a token deck..

A... peculiar card, to say the least. Decent synergy with the double lands.

Hello Ley Druid clone with a twist! Not bad for a common even with cost to cast. So many decks relying on non basic lands, land fetching lands, lands like Mishra's Factory Library of Alexandria Heart of Yavimaya Diamond Valley Lake of the Dead, etc. Throw in any spell that lets you play multiple, or all lands during a turn, mixed in with some spells that let ya fetch even more lands, my GOD! Let's not forget all the Enchant Lands that mimic many of these epic abilities! While we are at it, throw in Storm Cauldron to asure your land supremacy as you can untap and tap for mana before it resolves!(yes as sure is typoed, but they censor a followed by s followed by s)

this card could've been reprinted in zendikar or worldwake because its ability is kinda like a landfall trigger. right?

@crazyknight27: It is indeed landfall-esque, but I'd be damned if I, or anyone, put this thing in a landfall deck.

4 is a bit more than I'd want to pay, but it's still an option just for untapping lands that come into play tapped.

4x dawn's reflection + 4x fertile ground in a deck with Oboro Breezecaller and stuff like Summer Bloom. If the hierophant survives long enough, you can make insane mana without even using an infinite combo. I once got 42 mana on turn 6 in a 3-player match to fireball ftw. And then they made comet storm...

You could use canopy cover or privileged position or similar if you're worried about removal, but I figured I wanted to give people a chance. I pulled off a turn 4 win just today.

Tap a land for mana, then return it with a bounce land (i.e. Gruul Turf), and untap it for three mana :D Though a little overcosted...

Am I the only one who's bothered by the way her body is proportioned? Her waist just looks wrong.

This really needs to be updated with the keyword Landfall.

This card is what Lotus Cobra was supposed to be
From Maro's article Zendikar Talk
"Landfall Druid 2.0
1G
Creature – Elf Druid
1/1
T: Untap target land.
Landfall – Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, untap CARDNAME."

Who knew the difference between a a common and a mythic was to take a good, balanced common and drop two off it's casting cost? Oh and add a power so it can fight with impunity.

If you can activate this, you can get 4 mana from the Ravnica bouncelands.

Drop Selesnya Sanctuary. This thing's untap trigger and the land's trigger go on the stack. In response, activate this to untap the sanctuary. Tap that land for GreenWhite. This creature's trigger resolves, it untaps. Activate it again to untap the land again. Tap the land for another GreenWhite. That's GreenGreenWhiteWhite produced by one land that would have otherwise produced none this turn.

That's why this 1/1 costs 4 mana.

Underrated. This guy facilitates some excellent combo's in landfall decks. He really ought to be used with a 2 mana producing land though.

She's an absolute BEAST in my Riku of Two Reflections EDH. Even uncloned Boundless Realms is basically free, while cloned it's beyond amazing!

Have a land that taps for more than one? Boundless realms can net you so much mana you get burnt even after the revision! Think of her cloned with a Gaea's Cradle in play that taps for even just 4, and boundless realms getting you 7 land. That's 28 mana and 7 lands on the field. Think if you had more than 4 creatures or 7 lands!
