As Orcish Lumberjack cuts a swath, this guy renews the land. The "next upkeep" is supposed to represent a cute little timelapse; you could just return it under your control, but it takes some time to grow. Probably more than a few steps, to be honest, but hey.
It's an interesting effect, but the creature type, to say nothing of the colors, doesn't work for me. I could see something like this in UGinstead, but Red doesn't care about recycling things much.
I actually really like this card - but mostly for a very niche application I am working on.
I've got a Sek'Kuar, Deathkeeper EDH deck that will Never top 7 power if I have my way. In addition to being an orc if this seemingly enlightened orcish apple seeder was some sort of minor Shaman creature type? Yes please.
The Sek'Kuar, Deathkeeper ( Coldsnap version with minor art modification) I play it goes for a nature betrayed type theme. My Lord Windgrace deck also runs this theme in a very different way but I would consider an appleseeder in that deck too even.
An orcish appleseeder would complete a Sek'Kuar's story arc perfectly for me.
But humans show up - from an urban center growing with Ravnican ferocity... The orcs are put to work logging - some are all too happy to for the the quick buck - the opportunity to earn petty arm themselves or the want for shiny trinkets. Soon the forests have been clear cut and many of the orcs were living in logging camps in swampy lowlands - tricked into a a life of servitude by clever and pitiless humans. It was enough.
The Sakura-Tribe Elders have died, the great lowland snake shamans are nearly extict. Soon Goblin Deathraiders - partisans with connections in the mountain deep... Sek'kaur - the applesaver...
But it is not enough. The human cities are diverse hubs where many creatures, cultures, and planes interact. The beat of Goblin War Drums has slowed after waves of valiant defeat. Sek'kaur surrounded by death and seeing the beuty of his native land perverted, sold, and destroyed begins to delve into the most impulsive and dangerous of Gutterbones amature battle field necromancy, channeling the spirits of the lost at the Haunted Crossroads of battles lost...
It's a cool card and describes the idea very well. I like how it is pretty much the polar opposite of lumberjack. Lumberjack gives Mana for the cost of resources. This takes Mana to make resources. Lumberjack is a powerhouse that ends games quickly. This throws that out the window and is pathetic and only strives for the long game. Very cool.

I'd find a way to run and ramp with Orcish Lumberjack . I'm already running overrun but I'm not built towards green at the moment.

A promising young Orc (shaman) growing up in a cool Mountain Forest, chilling with the likes of Grumgully, the Generousand Grismold, the Dreadsower...

Anyway, I like it!
