Regarding the Artwork: I'm a big fan of Rebecca Guay but for some reason I just don't like her Lorwyn block art. In a set that seemed to be perfectly suited to her whispy folk style so many of her additions were overly dark or confusing.

Bitterblossom basically makes the fae archetype work, so it's basically an auto 5/5 for making such a powerhouse possible. I have never piloted Fae, but anyone who has even seen the deck run knows it deserves it.
Also, for those saying Tarmogoyf is a bad creature, get your head out of your ass and try playing with the card. Do you really like getting your comments given bad ratings because you say something stupid? It's one of the most cost effective beaters the game has. Who care if it's a vanilla creature with no abilities? It's usually one of the biggest bodies on the board for just 2cmc and is easily splashable. The card makes some Legacy decks work, which is a lot to ask of any card for that matter.

To me this is one of the best Black Enchantments ever printed... Phyrexian Arena, Bargain, Necro, and now Bitterblossom are without a doubt the best four black enchantments ever.

Depending on your deck, seeing the enemy play this can put a smile on your face. I happen to like fog effects, as well as Curse of the Pierced Heart and Shrine of Burning Rage. If playing a pure aggro deck, just make sure you have tramplers, as you should anyway. I played casual decks against faeries in Lorwyn block and didn't see this card as a main problem - just a fair one.
I do think faeries are too good as a deck type, but if you're going to ban a card it should be Spellstutter Sprite or Mistbind Clique.

Best tribal card to be printed in my opinion!

It'd be better if it wasn't fairies. Goddamn those fairies.

This has turned out to be a very painful card indeed! I get hit by this even when I'm not playing the game.
Hard to pass this card up if you're anywhere near being able to use it in your deck... unless the losing life thing freaks you out.

this is the best card of all times,
only I would like one that could produce Tokes like this:
Black Rose - Creature Token (Black) – Thrull Plant - 0/1
(Defender.) (T, Sacrifice Black Rose: Add B to your mana pool.)
good luck in everything to all ^-^... bye.
Demia JOR time.

I've been playing this card for over 3 years now and I have to tell you it's seriously overrated. Faeries is actually the only deck where you can play this and then again, faeries is not a strong deck.
This card had its time. But it definetely is over now that we have delver of secrets.
So long, my friend.
