This is a powerful build around for a really dedicated deck, but you need to be really, really dedicated
Aluren decks made extensive use of it because they could fetch any of the combo pieces other than Aluren itself, and some versions used Academy Rector allowing them to get Aluren as well
It doesnt matter so much which you prefer, so long as you understand how to read signals and see which cards fit into the faster or slower decks
If I had to rank them personally, it would go something like: Sakura-Tribe Elder in decks that care about it being a creature Nature's Lore in Mono Green or multicolor decks that run Forest duals (Breeding Pool) Sakura-Tribe Elder in decks that don't care about its card type (hey, it can chump block!) Rampant Growth because I really like ramp that I can cast in turns 1 and 2 Skyshroud Claim in the same decks as Nature's Lore Kodama's Reach / Cultivate Grow from the Ashes Explosive Vegetation I'I think it's really close between Kodama's Reach / Cultivate and Grow from the Ashes but in most cases I'll prefer the Cultivates as I find them overall stronger when cast on turn 3, which is the most important aspect of these ramp cards to me
While some of the best Zekrom cards put this black Dragon and Electric-type legendary in the spotlight, many offerings feature a partner Pokemon
Oh, a Viscerid blocking some of your opponent's lands with There's the alternate Aesthir Glider artwork
