Wizards: Please reprint this. It would hurt Control, but give Jace a nice challenge, allow Vengevines to compete with Titans, and would just be really fun to have again overall.

See this, Rise of the Eldrazi design team? THIS is how you make an aura that limits card disadvantage...
Seriously, this is the perfect non-creature card. I have never heard anyone cry "broken" over this, yet it is so powerful, and thats the thing, its rediculously powerful, but not broken....

Amazing card, but the idea of rancor (not the card but the actual word) is much more {R}, or maybe even {B}, flavor than {G}.

This is not broken by any means, sure its good. But its bonuses are all very small (outside of the reocurrence) so I could totally see why this was set at 1 green.
Its a decent effect with a competitive cost, but not broken. Broken would imply that it will end games, but given how vunerable creatures are as it is, and that this card offers no evasion or removal protection, makes this card fairly balanced as it is. If you think this is broken, you probably have never seen cards like Tooth and Nail, Greater Good, or Necropotence. Those are cards that deserve the title of "broken," not this. Even if you wanna get into Auras, Freed from the Real is far more broken than this because it only needs one other card (like Bloom Tender) to go infinite.
Also, if this card really bothers you, just run low cost exile (Oblivion Ring) or bounce (Into The Roil/... (see all)

Hai, I'd like a free Loxodon Warhammer on my creature any time I want, please.
...Oh, I can only have +2/+0, and no lifelink? Well, that's fine. But if I get that marginally similar and perfectly acceptable effect, I want a dramatic increase involving it costing only ONE mana and coming back to my hand everytime it dies.
Rancor? Yea, that sounds good. No, no, make it green mana, keepit in the trample family so no one else can use it. Yea, yea, that looks good.
Ridiculous beyond belief, but oh-so-incredibly wonderful. This card will never go out of fashion as long as this game exists, and we'll love every minute it's not on the opponent's side of the field. :3

Of all the old-yet-affordable cards, this is one that has that devilishly twisted "old" brokenness. The kind of brokenness that makes you gag & groan when you see an opponent cast it.
