So the weird thing about green is that it's the color that is most connected to lands, but is also the color best positioned to produce mana without lands. It made it very odd to try to flavor a card that rejected land mana.
I happened to be listening to a podcast about MTG design and was listening to some complaints about the lack of design concepts in black/green. It occurred to me that a sort of corruption of mana to be used for dark means could fit in a sort of curse-style approach to these creatures. Think of the green/black elves.
Not sure how I feel. I kind of like it. I don't think it could go in just any set.
