I missed "from anywhere" the first time, as well -- I'm thinking small, but this is still pretty decent value just churning through your deck with Tranquil Thicket/Slippery Karst and the like.
The last abilities looks a little weak. Why in the hand and not directly on the battlefield?
I could see it if they had pushed more into the retrace theme more lol maybe Borborygmos Enraged will be reprinted?

It's pretty interesting to see when "sacrifice" has a different flavorful aspect than just brutally killing for profit. See here on this card, he isn't killing his little plant buddies. Naw, he's Johnny Appleseed and the "sacrifice" is when he decides to plant his seeds(plant tokens) to grow. Mechanically, it would have been stronger to return the land to the battlefield, but he isn't magically throwing down a whole tree or whatever. Seeds take time to grow, hence, the land returns to your hand to grow over time (a future land drop). This is a masterclass card showing how game mechanics can be used to show a narrative of events or complex series of worldly actions. It also has the bonus of fitting in with the lore- what place would have better need of such a character other than the ravaged landscape of Zendikar?

My favorite flavor text: Time of Heroes
Feel free to tell me yours!
Lully already covered the flavor overload, but let me add that this will be sweet with Life from the Loam or Trade Routes.

Are you trying to jinx it?!?
Thankfully this says “from anywhere”. Otherwise this would have been total garbage.
