What a piece of work, this card. It's like a predictable Ad Nauseam (without building your deck around it.) Moonlight Bargain's lack of tournament play has always mystified me, but it remains one of my favorite cards.
To BrutalJim: Unlike Promise of Power, this is an instant, which we all know means it really costs zero mana, once you have the mana for it. I don't believe I have ever cast this card during my own turn. Compare this card to Necrologia for some idea how important this timing restriction is.
My favorite trick with this card is playing it with Children of Korliss, and imagining a late night shopping advertisement- "IF you sacrifice a child, we'll give you five cards for five mana! But wait, don't order yet- for each additional child you sacrifice, we'll throw in an extra 10 life for no additional shipping- EVEN IF THE SECOND CHILD IS IN THE FIVE FREE CARDS!" Ask about our Proclamation of R... (see all)

This card is great if you use Magus of the Mirror and Sins of the Past. You can put a couple cards in your hand, put a few in the graveyard, like Reverse the Sands, take a bunch of damage, stick a Caustic Tar on a swamp and switch life totals, smack em with the tar and game over...
I've beat my friend quite a number of times with this card as the leader since I want cards in the graveyard, cards in my hand and damage dealt to me, excellent.. add in a few Fortune Thiefs and maybe a Platinum Angel just for insurance.
3.5/5

This is actually quite good in a deck similar to the Graveborn deck. It allows you to thresh through the top few cards of your library, drop the fatties you're hoping to rez into your graveyard, and fork over life for any resurrection spells you come across. And, as maestrogrande already touched on, it's at instant speed, which makes it essentially costless if you can afford it. I'm actually kind of surprised it wasn't included in Graveborn.

Who would pay 10 life to draw 5 cards?
Well, everybody who plays Greed, apparently.
And that's probably the least common scenario you'll find yourself in. Maybe you'll take 1 or 2 of the cards, and you'll be happy with it. Most commonly, you'll be filtering through a few lands that would have screwed you, and grabbing something that you needed a few turns early, and that's certainly worth 2-4 life. And honestly, if you take all 5, then you probably had a really good reason to anyway, and you'll be sitting pretty for a while.
Plus, like many people have said, you might want to dump those extra cards in your 'yard. It's like selective mill; you don't have to worry about hitting a card that you wanted in your hand. Just take your pick. Way underrated in my opinion.
And I, like Bass1987, was really expecting a reprint in Innistrad block. Way disappointed.

I'd rather just play Promise of Power and take all 5 for 5 life.
