Seems to based on the live or die trope one is a mouth with a peaceful imagery to lure a survivor the other is a dark portal back to safety. I think they wanted to emphasis the death aspect of the choice so they made it a modal murder which had to be 4 or more mana so they made the second choice a revival which are usually 5 mana as an appropriate "Live" .
