How Good is …...

Explosive Vegetation isn't a staple ramp card in commander. It is possible ramp in the lowest power of battlecruiser metas or a trap to inexperienced deck builders in any other meta. Even in commander you want your ramp predominately to be 2 or less mana with limited 3 mana ramp. Even then ramp at 3 should either: ramp multiple mana; be ramping you into something specific at 5 mana; or provide exceptional fixing.
This isn't to say that I have never run Explosive Veggies. I have and have also ran Skyshroud Claim. But most of the time there is no reason to run Veggies and the use case for Claim is decks with a mana dump in the command zone.
On the topic of Wood Elves; it may not be a worse Cultivate, but unless you are abusing the ETB or have a creature cast or ETB trigger you are also getting it IS just a worse Nature's Lore/Three Visits

#1You would have to cast Deflecting Palm before the Zaffai, Thunder Conductor
trigger resolves, so you would not yet know who the damage was going to be dealt to.
