Circle of the Land is a Subclass of Druid in Baldur's Gate 3. Circle of the Land Druid's primary Ability is Wisdom, their saving throw proficiencies are Intelligence and Wisdom and they have a Hit Dice of 1d8. They have proficiency with Simple weapons, Light Armour, Medium Armour, and Shields.
The Circle of the Land is made up of mystics and sages who safeguard ancient knowledge and rites through a vast oral tradition. These druids meet within sacred circles of trees or standing stones to whisper primal secrets in Druidic. The circle’s wisest members preside as the chief priests of communities that hold to the Old Faith and serve as advisors to the rulers of those folk. A druid's magic is influenced by the land where they were initiated into the circle’s mysterious rites.
Druids of this Circle connect to powerful magic that flows through the earth and binds all living things together.

BG3 Circle of the Land Prepared Spells
At level 3, 5, 7 and 9 you can select one druid circle to obtain their spells. These spells are always prepared. Spells marked with * are significant in that they are not normally druid circle of land spells: and therefore are only available if you select that circle.You do not have to select the same circle each time, and can mix-and-match different circles between levels (e.g. select Arctic spells at level 3 but choose Coast spells at level 5).

Land Druid's Mountain Circle has Lightning Bolt again, patch 4.1.1.4251417 (Hotfix 15)
- Anonymous
Primal Strike IS NOT working in the game right now, meaning circle of moon wild shape DON'T actually have magic attack which is atrocious. So, you might as well go for Druid of the Land to have haste without spending levels on wizard. Being an owlbear it's even better to turn using an action since you can rage at the same turn from bonus action that you saved, getting some temporary hp and controlling enemies before they focus you and kill your owl bear in one turn.

The druid spells is just too weak damage wise, compared to a proper arcane caster.

There's no longer Lightning Bolt for Land Druid's Mountain Circle. They patched it and have replaced it with Call Lightning. :(

I feel druids really got the short end of the stick in this. They are missing several of the most iconic spells from the druid spell list in the official 5e Player's Handbook, including Conjure Animals, Wind Wall, and Giant Insect. Also, Polymorph was nerfed into the ground. If not a moon druid abusing wild shape (which has its own list of problems in its implementation in BG3), druids just feel like worse clerics.

This adds a lot of tools to the druid belt but with 90% of these spells requiring concentration, I feel so many will not be applied. It would be nice to have some spells' concentration requirements removed to help with applying utility and CC throughout battles. I know this is based on 5E but they've made other adjustments and this could make playing Circle of the Land as well as wizards a bit more desireable.
Perhaps there's other perspectives out there that would change my mindset here.

Note: Lvl 3 spell Grand Flight should be Grant Flight I'm pretty sure

Note that the spells associated with each circle (that become "always prepared") when you choose your second spell circle at level 5 are different than the spells that were listed for each circle at level 3. The spells for each circle at level 5 are as follows:
SPELL CIRCLES (LEVEL 5 VERSION)
Artic: Sleet Storm, Haste
Coast: Sleet Strom, Call Lightning
Desert: Protection from Energy, Hypnotic Pattern
Forest: Call Lightning, Plant Growth
Grassland: Daylight, Haste
Mountain: Call Lightning, Fly
Swamp: Stinking Cloud, Vampiric Touch
Underdark: Gaseous Form, Stinking Cloud
It's worth noting that some of the spells offered for each circle are not under the list of spells you naturally get as a druid that require a spell slot of level 3 or higher to cast (as far as I can tell in early access with a 'character' level 5 cap). Notable are the spells Hypnotic Pattern, a 2 turn concentration wisdom save AoE CC (The CC on a particular affected enemy will break if they take damage. You don't get advantage when attacking an affected enemy), Haste, a 10 turn concentration haste potion buff for either yourself or someone else in your party, and Fly, a 10 turn concentration ability to fly. The remaining spells you don't get naturally, which include Stinking Cloud, Vampiric Touch, and Gaseous Form are also possibly very useful, but I haven't had time to test these myself.
Better than wizard, even this being the worst druid subclass.
