This card would have been a pretty great reprint in Innistrad in my opinion.

This is certainly in the finals for the most flavorfully black card in the history of ever.

t1: forest, arbor elf.
t2: swamp, varolz.
t3: swamp, death's shadow, scavenge on varolz.
t4: swamp, death's shadow, scavenge on varolz. tainted strike. unnatural predation. boom.

and that's not the best option with this combo.

Just scavenge the crap out of him with Varolz, the Scar-Striped and the result will be more than pleasant.

I love this card.

It is, potentially, very large, and can swing a game back in your favor if you are behind, so it has Timmy appeal.
It has an interesting mechanic to abuse, plus tricks with effects that rely on a card's printed power, so it has Johnny appeal.
If abused properly, it is actually quite a strong card in the right environment (hey, it was successfully used in competitive legacy decks), so it has Spike appeal.
It has awesome flavor and a cool art, so it has Vorthos appeal.

And it does all of these things while being strictly speaking very simple. Really, the only disadvantage is that it tends to be much less useful in commander (unless you have a Varolz-deck, I suppose).

Death's Shadow deserves a 5/5, not because of raw power, but because of excellent card design.

They were afraid it would be too f*ck*ing ridiculous with trample.

Don't scavenge this guy. Take the Plunge.
