One of Magic’s cult classics back in the day.
Never had the opportunity to play one myself,
but it’s basically the enchantment version of
Zuran Orb: Eat a useless land and get some
health back. Fun when comboed with Necropotence!
Limited: Eh, it’s just life gain. It just keeps
you alive, it won’t help you win. 1.5 out of 5
Constructed: Powerful in decks running cards
that sacrifice life points for some powerful
effect, usually card drawing. Like, oh, I dunno,
Necropotence! So...are there such cards in
today’s Standard? No? *sigh* 2 out of 5.
Casual: Like I said, a mini classic. Greybeards
will love it, as will Golgari fans. 3.5 out of
5.

Dark Heart of
the Wood
Cute. Flavorful. Nostalgic. Useless. It’s even
worse than a “win more” card, it’s a “lose less”
card. And you sacrifice lands to do so. If I’m
sacrificing the thing that gives me mana to play
spells, it better be for something good. This
isn’t it.
