It just goes on and ON! Anywho, each activated ability is supposed to be a season.
+1/+1 counter- Spring, the time of growth
2 damage to flyer- Winter, what with snowstorms and whatnot?
You gain 3 life- Summer harvest.
Graveyard- Fall, with... falling leaves?
I'm not really sure of any of these. Graveyard could be spring, time of rebirth, as could lifegain. +1/+1 counter might be summer? I guess it's up to you. Still, this is a versatile card...

The death touch ability is very good, Green doesn't have large quantities of death touch, this also works well with tokens. Each of the artifact abilities are very sideboard like. The flying one is particularly useful giving green flying hate and removal.

Saying the 4 effects are for the seasons really feels like a stretch. I mean I'd say its
Spring: Rebirth, get stuff from the grave
Summer: Exercise, +1/+1
Fall: Harvest, Gain life
Winter: Not good flying weather
But I can easily be wrong. Either way those effects really feel disjointed. I guess its nice that this things deathtouch plays well with Nylea's trample.

This card is a design mess.

Love the options, one of them will always be relevant even if it just gaining life at the end of your opponent's turn, and really puts a players skills to the test. 4/5.

Supposed to represent the seasons... I don't think it was captured well. Primarily because I disagree with DaLucaray and .Blaze.'s answers. Does it not make more sense for the bow's abilities to be printed in the same order as the seasons? But, I'm not just spouting nonsense.
Spring: The season of growth, birth and beginning. I dunno about you, but to represent it as anything but +1/+1 counters in this set would be horrible. Most heroes grow to match the monsters by +1/+1 counters, the monsters grow to create an intense challenge by +1/+1 counters and Simic last set grew their mutants by +1/+1 counters.
Summer: Flying near the Sun will get you burned? Meh summer is prime hunting time. The least flavourful of the abilities really, since the rest can all be linked to trees, but this is pretty much just firing the bow. I honestly would rather it not be there.
Autumn: The Season of Harvest and the falling of the leaves. Could have been card draw, but lifegain seems m... (see all)
