Gimme one of these over a Birds of Paradise any day. Although its a bit more complicated to net that 1 mana, it gains healing power, burn power, graveyard disruption, and an extra point of toughness, not to mention usability in monoblack decks. Pure utility. Awesome. Its never sad to draw this card.

I think the person who created Bloodbraid Elf is behind this. That tendency to overpowered multicolored elves can't be a coincidence!
There is too much things in this card. Deathrite can be played anywhere. It removes the graveyards, adds ANY mana, and additionaly gives you life or cause opponent to lose it. Gosh!
It should have been "a child of Llanowar Elves and Elves of Deep Shadow", so it would produce only G and B mana.

The biggest threat to Tinder Wall's one-drop supremacy.

If you run Terramorphic Expanse to use for the mana ramp portion, consider replacing it with Ghost Quarter.You can tap a land for mana, then tap GQ to destroy the land you just tapped, 2 lands go into the graveyard giving you mana ramp for more than 1 turn, PLUS you have an untapped land that you just fetched out. OR it also gives you the option of destroying one of their annoying lands (Kessig wolf run), while still giving you 2 for mana ramp.
That's a hell of a lot of utility over a basic Terramorphic, paired with the already ridiculous utility of this card, and makes for a VERY good black splashed mana ramp, over the green mana ramp creatures in standard right now.
Also, my absolute favorite part about this card is it's toughness. It stays alive with (My personal favorite standard card) Heartless Summoning.
I won't even get started on the other 2 activated abilities.
Gets a 5/5 from me

...and in case you didn't notice, that says "EACH opponent loses 2 life."

Great with Deadbridge Chant for whittling down the randomness. Then again it's great with everything.

"I just havn't got room in my (insert deck which contains black or green) deck for this guy" .....said no one, ever!
Seriously if it had no abilities it would still be slighty undercosted
