um...so add one more green mana and make it an instant? momentous fall did more at instant and wasn't broken, in the land of eldrazi and titans no less; compared to that, this card is garbage.
Momentous Fall was 4 mana, this is 2. Trust me, draw 4+ for 2 at sorcery speed is good. Especially in a color that can ramp and play extra creatures in the same turn. Anyway, I'm not selling this card anymore. It's painfully obvious how good this is.
It also bears mentioning that the meta back then wasn't very creature-heavy. It was mostly Valakut and Caw Blade. So, Momentus Fall didn't have a huge impact. You didn't want to sac your Titan because you wanted to keep attacking with him to fetch more mountains.
I think it WAS played in Eldrazi Green, though that deck wasn't tier 1, and was only played for a short time between rotations.
Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
OMG this should have been an instant! Geez Wizards...come on!
And Jace, the Mind Sculptor should have had 5 abilities, not just 4! And they should reprint original dual lands instead of the painlands! Come on Wizards...geez!
A 2 casting cost card draw for GREEN... and people are complaining that it's a sorcery? This card is great just as it is!

Started in Ice Age...got both old and new, from Power 9 to Present Day sets...just ask or name a card!
Mtg salvation hardly likes ANY effect that targets their own creature due to fear of a two for one. A legitimate fear I suppose but we're at a point where even blue doesn't have solid, cheap draw spells. Suck it up, this is pretty excellent card advantage in a card advantage starved meta.

Except that it doesnt target, its just an additional cost, so no fear for a 2 for 1.
Also, theyve put the 'life and cards' thing not only on Momentous fall, but also on Disciple of Bolas which was playable, at least tier 1.5
That card did it sorcery speed, which invalidates you if you discard this card simply on the notion that its a sorcery. Disciple of Bolas glued the Mostly Black Control (Mutilate control) deck together. (and, admittedly, the lifegain was a part of it, but not the most important). You would for example sacrifice Desecration Demons to it as your form of Sphinx's revelation.
what this card has in advantage that, in the late game, it costing only two mana means you can likely cast something good after you play this and drew a full grip. Thats why it could become playable, if there's a green deck that's looking for this kind of effect. Most probably, G/B midrange decks with a variable strategy will like this. They can sac their creature which hasn't been doing the job to search for a planeswalker or a removal spell for a particular situation. Imagine saccing that polukranos who'se been stonewalled by elspeth tokens, drawing seven. Then play your Nissa, Worldwaker, untap another 4 lands, and throw something else down, maybe replay a Polukranos, ready to be made monstrous next turn with that Nissa backup. 5 cards left in hand. That's pretty cool, and if you can draw so many cards with it, it becomes more and more likely.
Read my last sentence. I'm agreeing with you. It's a fine and dandy card for green, especially if you sac one of nissa's animated lands.
Give Zaliki a CardI must have all the cats!

Also, I can't be the only one to notice creative likes to kill unicorns. Feast of the Unicorn, Prized Unicorn, Noble Quarry, and now this.
