I think that's "whenever you activate" and not whenever anybody activates, which is potentially quite important.
Even so, unique effect and the mass +1/+1 counters are just gravy. You could build this deck with just mana dorks and have a built-in finisher by antheming with this ability repeatedly and then alpha striking.
Now it's just a T2 infinite. T0 this, T1 Breeding Pool and Birds of Paradise, T2 Breeding Pool, one of those auras, and you have one spare floating mana to activate the Aura and go infinite.
And lol, it already has its own wincon too, as you use that mana to put a million counters on the birds, and swing.
Probably the most maindeckable leyline so far. It does create an interesting dynamic for standard where a player wants Nissa, who needs forests, and this which only works with dorks.

Throw in Urza and an Ornithopter for t3/t4 redundancy. All you need then is an outlet for all that green mana. Helix Pinnacle?

Edit: Just realized Nissa makes your lands into Elementals, which should be getting some pretty smexy support with M20. Maybe an elemental shell with this Leyline and Nissa for lots of mana?
How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.

This is the outlet, too. You use all that green mana to put a million counters on your birds/thopter and swing.

Apparently the Urza plan doesn't work though. His ability doesn't meet the Comprehesive Rules' definition of tapping a creature for mana. even if you use his ability to tap a creature to add mana.
"CR 106.12. To “tap [a permanent] for mana” is to activate a mana ability of that permanent that includes the {T} symbol in its activation cost."
Oh wow. Dryad Arbor becomes a fetchable sol land, llanowar elves becomes Fyndhorn Elder, etc , etc. This seems really good in mono green devotion. I love it.

Yeah, I've been talking about Birds of Paradise / Freed from the Real T2-infinite-swing combo here and on reddit. Sure it's a glass cannon but damn it seems tasty.

If Leyline of Abundance is in your opening hand, you may begin the game with it on the battlefield.
Whenever you tap a creature for mana, add an additional G
6GG: Put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control.

I think it's whenever you tap a creature for mana. Otherwise, This could be a nightmare turn 1 win strategy.

Except your lands...become dorks with Nissa, Who Shakes the World. Tap a Forest or Breeding Pool and friends for GGG, anyone?
