Very solid multiplayer card. It annoys people but usually not enough to make them waste removal on the Warden. The life buffer has often meant the difference between winning and losing a game; and is also great for grabbing an extra card or two off a Sylvan Library.

Phasing would not affect this ability.
Rule: 702.24d
"... Effects that check a phased-in permanent's history won't treat the phasing event as having caused the permanent to leave or enter the battlefield or its controller's control."

Opponent: "I enchant my Pestermite with Splinter Twin and make a million tokens, mwoahahaha!"
You: "Okay, I gain a million life."
Opponent: -.-

Hm, this or Wellwisher?
How about both!
Doubling Chant should help too!

This is the timeshifted version of Soul Warden.

Definitely better than Soul Warden... why? White is good at making tokens, but it can't match the elven token power... Lys Alana Huntmaster, Elvish Promenade, Hunting Triad, Prowess of the Fair.. and many, many more... and this weenie really provides you with a huge lifegain. It may be much more vulnerable than Leyline of Vitality... being able to be shot by virtually any removal, but is much more flexible and can be pulled much more easily. Put her first turn, then second turn Canopy Cover... and if you don't want to waste your aura on her, it's just trade of one opponent's removal vs your 1/1 which only increase your life. I would guess most opponents would save their removals for something else...
clearly at least 4/5 for me... she is not useful only in elven decks, but in any deck, and especially usefull when opponent is running creatu... (see all)

An already annoying card that synergizes with an even more annoying card (wellwisher) in a ridiculously annoying tribal whose specialties include getting hordes of silly little creatures

I'm using this in my fungus deck. Worst case, it grants me about 5-10 life. Best case, 10 million +.
5+ life and a 1/1 for G isn't bad.

Has anyone played a game with four of her, four soul wardens, and four souls attendants? I'll bet that would be killer on the life-gain.
