This card really annoys me, I tried to use it at the prerelease and even cast it a few times when I was about to die, but it didn't really help then either because when you're that late in the game and about to die, odds are you aren't going to get much more advantage from the 14 or so life you gain. Not to mention you lose all anything you could flashback. This is an abysmal mythic and I am disappointed that Wizards prints these junk mythics, it ruins the whole point of the rarity.

I can only wonder what this card's original ability was. MaRo admitted that it was so absolutely broken that they had to pull it last minute. Was it really so broken that we deserved this disgrace to Magic players instead? I can only imagine the look of disgust on the face of anyone unfortunate enough to pull one of these. Luckily when I pulled mine, it was in the context of another 35 packs, which helped soften the blow.
I hope R&D is happy with the decision they made.
.5/5

At first I thought "it's not *that* bad.
Then I noticed the cost.
Then I noticed it's a mythic...

Absolutely horrible card. Compare to Green's Gnaw to the Bone
{7}W for 2 life for each card in your graveyard
VS
{2}G for 2 life for each creature in your graveyard + {2}G flashback

They need to invent a 0/5 rating, just for this card.

I think this is possibly the most flavourful mythic White could've had in Dark Ascension. After all, the whole point of the set is that the good guys are losing, right? Makes sense that they get absolutely s**te cards.

This was the last card I needed to complete the set and I felt dirty as I bought the single. The set was probably more complete without this card in it.

Tonight at FNM Draft I saw this thing get pulled. And tabled. Repeatedly. It was a last pick. People were taking crappy commons before they would take this. This same draft saw the majority of people doing white and some other color decks.

I was wishing for a spiritual reprint of Heroes Remembered I.E. gain X life, where X is greater than 20.
I was hoping it could've just gained 40 life. Why isn't there any card like that? Sure, it's not that playable, but it's hell more playable than this!

This thing is terrible. Why would you use this when you gain 7 life for just a white and a green in RtR?
