Anybody who complains that this is only good in a life gain deck needs to actually think about what they just said.
In related news, Jace, the Mind Sculptor is only good in decks playing blue, 0.5/5.

I am not impressed with this card. its not horrible, but it only fits in a very limited number of decks. if you have a Well of Lost Dreams/Searing Meditationdeck, add this card to it. otherwise trade it to the guy who DOES have that deck.

Many conditions have to be right for this to work more to your advantage than if you had spent the mana to cast the card and use its activated ability on something else, but depending on how much life you gain and what creatures you have on the battlefield, it could pay off.
I'd rather use the six mana to do something else though, like cast Darien, King of Kjeldor.

I don't know why more people don't like this card, it's synergizes great with cards like Wall of Reverence (for one example), and lifelink is a no-brainer. Turns the often-bland lifegain mechanic into a scary exponential pumping machine. Obviously, bounce is killer against counters, but that's always been the case.

I don't know what you people are thinking giving this card bad ratings?! My friend played this card on me with a +2/+2 equip that gave trample and lifelink on a 2/2 creature with its own exalted bonus and by the time he finally beat me he had a legitimate 40/40 creature and some absurd amount of life. Plus this was just a draft tourney of 7 people with 4 boosters each not a deck he put lots of effort and money into. This card is amazing!!!

I got one question can i pay more than once?
Combo for naya:
2 mayaels aria, cradle of vitaly, spearbreaker behemot or uril mistalker, giant growth in hand 3 mana on table. Spearbreaker gets +2/+2 he is 7/7 giant growth he is 10/10 you gain 10 live pay 2 on cradle and give spearbreaker+10/+10 and you win the game. Naya got nice mana acceleration so it should work in 5-6 turn.

So what is wrong with this card? Even if it isnt used in that combo you can still use it with wall of reverence. Gain five live and spend some mana to give 5 +1/+1 tokens to make something beastly. Whats wrong with that?

This card is terrible. Because the most likely situation your just gaining one life then you just wish you had something with renforce and in the unlikely situation that you are gaining a whole bunch of life at once and you power up a creature. It just gets terrored and right to the grave yard it goes. Or they will just bounce the powered up creature to your hand. Make your improvements usuless. Pawn this card off on some one else as quick as you can
