"... oh, and Felidar Sovereign isn't banned in Commander yet. "
"Wait, what?"
"I said, when Predator Ooze comes out, it'll be great with Deadly Allure."
"No, what about that Sovereign thing?"

People seem to forget that his 2 static abilities along with his high toughness means you are usually going to be gaining 4 life on both your turn and your opponent's using this card alone.

Actually I think, that this card is kinda broken in EDH, but since soo many people play a$$hole cards like Sorin Markov, or Serra Ascendant in EDH, I frankly don´t have the slightest feel of regret when I use this as a win condition in my Trostani, Selesnya's Voice deck.
Also comes great with the Winding Canyons to be able to flash it in before your turn starts.

I kinda hate this card because my Test of Endurance is nothing compared to it.
This card definitely deserves mythic status. Beacon of Immortality...

this card is very nice, and probably the best combos possible with the celestial mantle and that enchantment that make other enchantment and enchanted creature shroud. now all you have to do is wait 3 turn and making sure your 7/9 shroud vigilant lifelink creature attack each turn and survive. If your creature still die, replace the enchantment for a whispersilk cloak, so your creature won't be able to get blocked AND will have shroud, but will only be a 4/6

What's that you say? Lifegain isn't a valid strategy you say?

i think if gaining life is going to be your goal that your going to set in a game gaining 20 life isnt all that bad and by the time you would cast this if youve been setting your goal to gain a bunch of life you should have your 40

Alright, since looking a little harder at this card and actually putting it into a deck where it can be utilized, I do see its uses, and it is a real terror in a dedicated life gain/drain deck. It's a removal magnet, and is limited as far as how many decks it can effectively go in, but in the right spot, it will, well, win the game for you. 4.5/5.

A few Wall of Reverence, and getting to 40 life should be a cakewalk. Throw in Cradle of Vitality for more wacky fun.
