Awesome art! Still, I don't get why a lady with a button shirt gains you life.

Ah, my friend would get so mad at this card back in the day. Its still nice, even if its been overshadowed by never and stronger lifegain.

You consume her flesh for sustenance, you'll notice every burst she gets bigger and thus there is more to consume.

Why do people always say that not losing won't win you the game? Of course it will win you the game. What, do you expect a draw? The problem with lifegain cards isn't that "not losing" won't make you win; the problem is that most lifegain cards just aren't good enough at preventing you from losing.

Well in magic you can not lose, and your opponents can win (which causes you to lose) I mean there are a lot of "you win the game" effects, there aren't a lot of cards that stop you from "losing"

Lich's Mirror will stop you from losing, no matter what (I mean for a turn usually)
Platinum Angel, as long as you have it, will protect you from losing.
Angel's Grace protects you from quite a bit of all in's

Those are the only three I can find that stop you from 'losing' for any reason, here are some that protect from loss of life, although with big drawbacks.

Lich's Tomb
Lich
Phyrexian Unlife
Transcendence

Interesting that these effects seem quite white, and the ones with bigger drawbacks are black, pretty cool too

I really like the concept and art. If you were somehow able to cast all of them, you'd gain a total of 40 life. Probably best used in a defensive deck with a lot of card draw to increase chances of drawing these things and to make up for the card disadvantage. I'm thinking White or Blue control. The truth is almost any card can be useful if you can be creative enough when building your deck around it. To me, that's the beautiful thing about Magic.

3.5/5

There's one main reason to run Rest for the Weary over this.
You need to play three of these to equal the life gain per card spent. only the forth one gets you more life for the cards spent. When was the last time you cast all four copies of a card in your deck?

One of the better lifegain cards. I remember I started playing around this block and I wanted to get x4 of these badly. I only had 1 copy :(
