@steev: Look upon Sacred Nectar and despair.
While true, Angel's Mercy at least gives you more life for your card. As a similar example, Char is widely considered to be a great burn spell despite offering nowhere near the mana efficiency of Shock.

White/Green/Black lifegain is pretty good, at least in casual, and especially now with Rhox Faithmender.

I loved playing Chalice of life, did a white metalcraft version. Then rotation started to get close, and I figured it was time to let it go until Orzhov came out. Then I realized they reprinted this. Let's see.... Turn 1 Cathedral Sanctifier turn 2 Heroes Reunion, +10 life in before you even drop the chalice. Add Nearheath Pilgrim, Rhox Faithmender, Elixer of Immortality and all kinds a good ways to pump your lifelinkers. This actually works. Definitely in kitchen table standard anyway. A fun deck that can surprise some people at events too.

Does anyone know who the two heroes in the art are?

how sad is it that i actually have a deck using this and rhox faithmender, just like lotsofpoopy predicted? It just makes getting to 30 to flip chalice of life so easy!

This should be cast in response to defeat by health loss. Am I right?

Ehh this is mostly just a noob trap. Gaining life without board presence is a classic trap people fall into. When you understand why lifegain without board presence is bad, that's when you stop being a noob.

Always makes me think of Predator when Dutch and Dillon do that flex/broshake thing.
Dutch: "Dillon!... you son of a b***h!"

The relevant cost here isn't the two mana, but the card itself. Losing a card out of your hand for zero impact on the board state is unforgivable. Outside of fringe sideboard use against burn, this card is terrible.
