And thus, the beginning and end of Artist BD.
He/She will be mourned along side Darbury Stenderu and Jacques Bredy.

Although this card isn't exactly flashy, its important to remember that each colour needs a way to deal with the plethora of fliers in every set. While White might get something like Abbey Griffin, and Blue might have an Air Servant, less flier-intensive colours have to resort to other methods to maintain the Colour Pie.
Red has its ever-present burn spells for flier removal, but Green doesn't get that kind of versatility when it comes to creature removal. So what do you do?
You tack a bonus on the end of the spell. And although 2 life might not seem like much (in most decks, it honestly isn't much), I think that it'll be a lot more welcome in the upcoming Theros set, and even in the current M14 set, where lifegain matters for triggering other effects.
Without cards like this, Green simply wouldn't have fair ground for Limited play.

Okay-ish sideboard card in limited. That's some of the clunkiest flavor text I've ever read.

Does this art make you think of conspicuous CGI?
It's like you're just playing magic and SUDDENLY LOW-POLY 3D TRANSFORMERS.

Hmm, when Crushing Vines rotates out, could this card help save green from Esperia-based shenanigans?
... probably not to be honest.

Green doesn't have too much to take care of fliers in Limited, and many of the fliers in the set are troublesome.
I feel like this should be main-boarded in draft till you face someone in Golgari or Rakdos.

I am novice, so you could believe when I tell you that little in life satisfies a nice little health boost after destroy the flyer of your choosing with removal spells. But is not good for Mono-Black controlo deck!

This card is crap. It's super narrow, and the two life are mostly irrelevant. You can pick up one ortwo during a draft for the sideboard, but I wouldn't maindeck it. And for constructed it's unplayable anyway.
