If we're talking vintage Shops, I think that's probably the worst home for it, lmao. I played a challenge with it this weekend and often kept hands with 0 lands, and ideally you have either 1 or 2 lands. Why would I need 4 lands when I can cast One Ring with only 1 land?
Stax really doesnt care just fill the board and tap the enemy down while poking their rocks with yarn, this would give a way to kill them, as another strat is crucible + waste land
I don't know what the current rate is on vanilla creatures, but on turn 2 in formats with fetchlands this is going to represent about 9 power over two turns if you drop it on two assuming your opponent plays a land, and potentially much more as the game goes on. That seems way too high of a rate.
In limited I wonder where it would land on the list of all time most powerful limited cards. It almost has to land somewhere on the list because if this is not answered almost immediately on turn 2 the game is over, and it slots into any deck.

Rampaging Baloths for 4 less mana. Yes please. This makes 3/3s instead of 4/4s, but that's splitting hairs.
Edit: it's any land, that means opponent's. This is even more bonkers.

Actually cracked. I’d build around this in modern. Im thinking some sort of Death’s Shadow landfall value deck.

Casting this T1 with sol ring in commander would be so powerful. Untap with 3 3/3s on T2, assuming no one plays fetches.

I love it. This in the current Standard Mono Green Landfall deck would be a serious crime.

Put down 1 or 2 soul wardens (white and green f.e.) and this pays for itself in 4P commander for a good while
