haha, wait till they attack all out, then mirrorweave this sucker. They're not gonna deal any damage because of the one power but you can block anyways to gain barrel of life.

1 mana for a free chump block on a big creature, even one with flying, and you gain 4 life out of it. Or, to make you not gain life, they waste removal on a 0/1 flier. Either way good deal. 4.5/5

This + Indestructibility is rather decent, I suppose.

this + 2 or 3 auras ( like Improvised armour or moldervine cloak) = don't worry about blocking
And if you can't , you always win 4 life and prevent some damage for only 1 wihte mana

if you look closely, the artist hid a *** in the negative space.

I had never heard of this card until I saw it on the Xbox Live game. At first, I was thinking that it was a stupid card. By itself, it's not all that great. You can cast a lot of other spells to gain live and if this guy dies without blocking, you don't get the life gain. However, combined with a regenerating spell or indestructibility, this guy can be useful. It's a useful and creative card.

Bad card is bad. Why?
- 1: lifegain sucks. Unless it's a card that by itself generates more life than your opponent is capable of dealing damage (which ain't the case here), or the card is good enough that you'd play it even if it wouldn't gain you life (which ain't the case here either).

- 2: you can not rely on it, since it depends on your opponents deck, if this card does anything at all. Your opponent got mostly creatures with fear, shadow, trample, or any other kind of evasion? They all make this card instantly useless. If your opponent got any burn with "deals damage divided any way you want", or just cards that keep dealing small amounts of damage each turn (like prodigal sorcerer or honden of infinite rage) this card is totally useless as well. Or if your opponent doesn't rely on creatures at all, like if he runs a combo, mill, or burn deck.

- 3: even IF you play a deck that wins by gaining life (like by using well of lost dreams, sea... (see all)

Renders even a five power trampler useless once, which is pretty impressive for a one drop common.
3/5 Stars
