I think medium or larger cubes that are moving away from certain utility 3 and 4 drops in Green towards big bodies (Unga Bunga) should definitely consider The Great Henge. It's just barely on the outside for my 500 list and that could change with time.
If you're unable to cast this with a decently sized creature (probably 4 or more power) on board than maybe but I don't think that is a terribly difficult hoop to jump through. This gives you mana, life, +1/+1 counters, and cards simultaneously. On average, I think this will outperform Guardian Project.
I initially read the cost reduction ability as total power ala Ghalta, Primal Hunger, but even as is it might be good enough.
I think the mana generating ability comes way too late so far as ramp is concerned, but at least the ability allows you to potentially follow up this spell with a 1 or 2 drop along with 2 life, a +1/+1 counter, and a card. Cards like this make me want to revisit cards like Rhonas the Indomitable or even Steel Leaf Champion as I think green sometimes suffers in cubes that aren't designed towards what it does best....being the biggest.
