There has been some debate over the years as to exactly which
  circumstances will trigger a Compost.  The main issue arises because
  it's possible for the card to be black in the graveyard but not when
  it's in the hand, or on the battlefield; it's also possible for the card
  to be black in the hand or on the battlefield but not in the graveyard.
  Under the current regime, the trigger event is now never considered
  to be a leaves-the-battlefield trigger.  Consequently, it's the color
  of the card once it gets to the graveyard that matters when determining
  whether Compost triggers.

    Compost  {1}{G}  Enchantment 
  / Whenever a black card is put into an opponent's graveyard from
    anywhere, you may draw a card.
