As an additional cost to cast this spell, sacrifice a creature.
You draw cards equal to the sacrificed creature's power, then you gain life equal to its toughness.
It wasn't long until the elves had developed a use for every part of the Eldrazi.

Where it came from
Momentous Fall was released in 2010 as part of the Rise of the Eldrazi expansion for Magic: The Gathering. As the third set in the Zendikar block, it introduced the gargantuan Eldrazi titans, shifting the game's environment toward high-mana, high-impact spells. This card was designed as a powerful resource-gathering tool, reflecting the set's emphasis on dramatic, game-changing moments where players could sacrifice large creatures to replenish their hand in a single turn.
The artwork was illustrated by Jason Chan, who captured the visceral energy of a creature's demise fueling a mage's power. Chan, known for his dynamic character work, focused on the interplay between the sacrifice and the resulting surge of cards, grounding the mechanics in the high-fantasy aesthetic of the Zendikar plane. The card was well-received by players for its efficiency in green-based decks, becoming a staple in Commander formats where sacrificing high-power creatures is a common strategy.
