Fascinating design. Wizards tend to shy away from lands that do this kind of thing. It'll usually give you the mana at times that aren't very useful, such as in the Combat Damage step. But nonetheless, this seems reasonable as a rare. It might be more likely to be something like a black enchantment.
Yeah, enchantment would be a bit more reasonable, but I felt I needed to make another special land for the WBR group since the other groups had more.
Made this a little bit better. I couldn't believe I forgot to make it normally produce mana.
How about using the shiny new word "dies" to make this less wordy. It'll work slightly differently, but pretty close:

I kept he second part in tact only to give it a little more versatility. I had always intended to reap the effect from exiles as well as deaths.
