Why is this card good?

Revitalizing Repast is a flex card that earns its slot through modality, not raw power. The front half is a cheap combat trick: a +1/+1 counter plus indestructible until end of turn for one mana. That's genuinely useful — it dodges board wipes, wins combat, and permanently grows a creature. The back half is a tapped dual land, so when you don't need the trick, it's never a dead draw. Where it shines: counters-matter Golgari decks (think Hapatra, Ghave, or any +1/+1 synergy build) love that the buff is permanent and feeds proliferate. It also slots into any BG deck simply as a "spell-land" that smooths your manabase — modal double-faced cards effectively shrink your land count without thinning your gas. When to skip it: if you're a tuned/cEDH list where every nontoken card needs to advance your gameplan hard, this is too low-impact. And outside counters synergies, the instant half is just a minor protection trick — fine, not exciting. Solid, low-ceiling glue card for midrange Golgari.
