I like green cards that muck about with your lands.  This card does a couple of things.  You can play it in response to targeted land destruction, you can make double of a color you might only have 1 of (assuming you're base green), you can play mind games by leading with a Forest and then swapping in whatever land you really wanted to play at your opponent's EOT, etc.  I don't think there are too many ways to abuse this to generate excess mana.  It does let you bounce and replay Ancient Tomb and Mishra's Workshop, but I don't think that's relevant, as decks that want to abuse those cards probably have no interest in this card.

I'm not sure about the title of this.  I think the idea of Land Management (in the conservation sense) accurately captures what this card does, but the game isn't called Civics The Gathering.

I think a name like Land Conversion or something similar may be useful.  I like the card.

It's extremely narrow, but I like it.  It's really really good with Cradle though.

It is really really good with Cradle.  I think that's probably okay.

I like the name Careful Cultivation.
