Breath of Nature is neat when used "as-intended", but would ultimately just get combo'd with land wipe i.e. "armageddon, land for turn, breah of nature, gg".
Not cheap enough to see play outside of commander, though. I would add a clause that it can't reduce life below 1.
The legendary stone, as mentioned, already exists.
I suspect Breath of Life would be GW these days. While green definitely does life gain and loves lands; white is the color of setting/resetting life totals and creating symmetrical effects/rules that just happen to benefit it. BG could also be a workable color combo here since it also sets/resets life totals. The card is definitely interesting though, especially if you can land ramp into it.

Isn't Armageddon followed up by a threat backbreaking anyways? Biorhythm is banned in EDH anyways.
Breath of Nature is probably fine in EDH where Biorhythm is banned, because Geddon effects are much rarer and already frowned upon while Wraths are omnipresent. It's very likely with Biorhythm that someone drops a Wrath and then the next person drops a creature and Biorhythm and just ends the game. Nobody is dropping Geddon by accident, and the same player has to drop both the Geddon and the Breath in most cases.

I disagree with the above poster that Breath of Nature could be B. Keeping it WG would work best.
Dang, I just realized Astrolabe posted that. Sorry man, I'm really crushing you today.
No problem.
Black does get stuff like TREEofPERdition and Sorin Markov, so having this card be BG isn't completely out of the question. I do strongly prefer WG though and was just throwing BG out there as an option.
With the right flavor, I think this card also fits Abzan's general vibe:
Master the Sands 2WBG
Sorcery
Each player's life total becomes the number of lands he or she controls.
Artifact
All non land permanents become legendary.
Mirror Gallery reversed.
Breath of Nature 4GG
Sorcery
Each player's life total becomes the number of lands he or she controls.
Inspired by Biorhythm.
