very good. it's like a bolt where you pay 1 white mana more to gain 3 life... nice addition to any R/W deck.

Amazing function. Rich flavor. Beautiful art. Perfect flavor text. My guild. Seriously, I don't think there ever was a card that better fit my personal tastes.

I think its funny how players dislike life gain, but making Lightning Bolt more expensive and adding just 3 life makes it more awesome. Doesn't that just not make sense?

(Edit) I ain't quite buying, clearly this card is good, a lot of players use it well, but I would rather play Lightning Bolt because it costs one less, when it comes to removal, 1-2-3 mana is very important.

Of course, Lightning Bolt is considered very powerful, perhaps I need to not compare it to Lightning Bolt and think of it as fairly costed.

If Lightning Bolt didn't exist, I probably have better opinions on this card.

If Avacyn is Red or White like I hope, then they maybe they'll reprint it when she's Restored.
