Combos with EVERYTHING...I have a W/G lifegain deck with 4 oracle of nectars in it and I have 4 Boon Reflections in the deck along with Storm Herd and so many other crazy crap...I think the highest life I got was between 450-500...I also had...ahh...that artifact where you put a counter on permanents to make them indestructible...and my opponents were like 'stop! stop!'...
Feudkiller's Verdict goes wonderfully with this. 20 life and a 5/5 for ain't too shabby. Also like Qazior said, Sanquine Bond + this card = Win!

This is a very good card. It works well in just about any life gain situation. Just one of these would cause your life to skyrocket fairly high and having 3-4 out is pretty devastating. If anyone were to make a life gain deck of any sort, a couple of these would really help out.

This is the perfect combo for ANY life gain card. That's why it's so amazing in a life gain deck.

Okay guys, of the "combos" listed, I think only rioks' really counts. What all of you are saying are life gain strategies that this amplifies. That's like saying Rage Reflection and Boggart Ram-Gang are a combo.

Cradle of Vitality + Boon Reflection + fully leveled-up Transcendent Master = A life-link indestructible creature that triples his power and toughness every turn, all in only one color. Add in a Sanguine Bond and you got an overkill right there, even if the opponent blocks.
I am liking this card in my lifelink deck. Once there's one of those in play, any effect that makes you gain life becomes overpowered. Equip a Spirit Link or its black counterpart on an opponent creature and your opponent may think twice about attacking with it, even if it has a trigger on attack effect. Pretty much forces the opponent to give up on brute force as it becomes quite impossible to keep up with the life gain. Just hope the opponent doesn't have anything to take care of that card or doesn't use different win conditions (like milling).
If you use this with Beacon of Morality, you don't quadruple your life total. It says "double target player's life total." It doesn't say "gain life equal to your life total."

any halfdecent fast deck will rip most decks playing this apart. However 1 or 2 in a deck with many small lifegain cards is quite good.

@Grimjaw: Wouldn't this +Beacon of Immortality only triple your life, not quadruple it? If you're on 10 life, Beacon of Immortality doubles your life to 20 (gaining 10 life), then Boon Reflection doubles that lifegain, giving you another 10 life.

@asandberge: You're not entirely correct. When Beacon of Immortality doubles a player's life total, he or she gains life equal to their life total:
"Beacon of Immortality's effect counts as life gain (or life loss, if the life total was negative) for effects that trigger on or replace life gain (or life loss)." - From the rules section of Beacon of Immortality
Likewise, even though Invincible Hymn says "your life total becomes that number", in reality you gain life until your life total becomes that number:
"For your life total to become the appropriate number, you actually gain or lose the necessary amount of life. For example, if your life total is 20 and your library has thirty-two cards in it when Invincible Hymn resolves, Invincible Hymn will cause you to gain 12 life. Other cards that interact with life gain or life loss will interact with Invincible Hymn accordingly." - From the rules section of Invincible Hymn.
So there you go. If you use this with Beacon of Immortality, you'll triple your life total.
EDIT: @Grumman: Nice catch :3 I just thought that since the Beacon says "double" and Boon Reflection also says double, it would be quadruple - but you're definitely correct.
Ps. Boon Reflections stack in the same way as Doubling Season. Having two Boon Reflections on the battlefield would cause Sacred Nectar to give you 16 life.

I know. That was bad.
