Why is this card good?
Overgrown Farmland is one of the "slow fetch" duals from the Bloomburrow cycle, and it's a clean inclusion in basically any two-color Selesnya deck. The conditional untapped clause matters: if you control two or more other lands (i.e., turn three onward, or earlier with ramp), it comes in untapped, which is strictly better than the old "always tapped" Guildgates and far less painful than shock or pain lands.
Who wants it: Any GW deck that doesn't run fetchlands. Tokens, +1/+1 counters, lifegain, Selesnya stax — all of them benefit from consistent dual-color fixing without the life loss of a shock or the early tempo hit of a tapland.
When to skip it: In high-power/cEDH builds running fetchlands, this is worse than dual-typed lands like Temple Garden or Savannah, since fetches can grab those. It's also worthless in mono-color decks.
Bottom line: an unglamorous but excellent budget-to-mid fixing land for casual and mid-power Selesnya.

If this land enters the battlefield at the same time as any number of other lands, those other lands are not counted when determining if this land enters the battlefield tapped or untapped.
