@Vinifera7 "Hey, it's Soul Warden's elvish twin!" Except that it has better tribes. Elf and Shaman instead of Human and Cleric. This makes it a much more useful card.

Another nice thing about this card is that it triggers when your opponent's creatures enter the battlefield as well. If you and your opponent(s) are playing creature-heavy strategies, be prepared for some serious lifegain.

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.

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.

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

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 creature heavy deck as well...

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.
@Clash25 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."

Here's a tip: Don't play this turn one in multiplayer. You'll just make everybody else attack you because they perceive you as a threat. And, as far as board state goes, you probably are the biggest "threat." Bide your time until bigger threats are about to come into play, and then drop the warden worry-free. Yay psychology!

This card is Brah..ken with all the creatures and creature tokens green produces you would have to run mass creature destruction in your deck in order to combat it then the second problem would have to the large amount of life you gained due to the creatures.
