I suppose without the picture of a Dryad shifting through a tree, this seems like an odd card. It's top down design... and it's using technology from a very early green card, Elvish Scout. That gain four life seems a bit tacked on for a reason. It was tacked on. Enough with the "Draw a card" cantrip already, Wizards. Let's get the occasional other bonus, eh?
It's a pretty weak effect, I'm aware. I should pay extra attention and see who's playing it. The life gain may need to go up a touch to compensate.
