Can anyone possibly clarify how this card would work with something like Heritage Druid or Birchlore Rangers? In the case where you tap the Druid or Ranger itself, does this make +1 mana? Or plus 3 (or 2 for Birchlore)? I'd think it is only +1. In the case of tapping other Elves and not Druid or Ranger, does this make any extra mana?
It doesn't work with either card no matter what you are tapping. It doesn't work with Urza or anything else that produces mana without the ability having the tap symbol. To "tap for mana" it needs to use the tap symbol and produce mana. Neither of those cards use the tap symbol so they won't work.
Tested Kinnan in Modern and he's shockingly good there. He obviously wants mana dorks, and it's an uphill battle (though still possible) to activate his ability without (their) mana ramp, but he doesn't need long for his mana ramp to be worth it (Turn 1 mana dork, Turn 2 Kinnan + 2-drop was more common than Magical Christmas Land even when he's a 2-of). His activated ability swings games quite hard and can be activated as early as Turn 3. He even cheats in power 1-ofs deceptively often! He dies to most removal, and him with no mana dorks is a bit of a bummer, but luckily, one of the decks I'm testing him in is pretty threat-dense.
This is the kind of effect I would’ve wanted on a sea monster Commander. However I don’t think this card would fit being a human and I really don’t like the artwork. However the effect really is amazing and would have been great as my general. But I think I will stick with Thrasios thematically

Somebody has to release the kraken. I mean, they don't just release themselves, now do they?

I mean, tapping for additional mana isn’t exactly sea monster like or a non-Human thing. The second is flavored as calling out a monster, which seems like kind of an odd thing for a monster to do.

It’s about time- before, say, Ixalan, GU had been in a twenty year long slump
Also- this guy is a mana dork lord!
He even gives them something fun to do
