Oh boy, 1 life per turn! And my opponent has a chance to get the same benefit too! Um, yay?

Pretty underwhelming. If it was printed today, it would probably hand out 3 or 4 life.

I love cards printed back when they thought life gain was so awesome they had to nerf it beyond all reason. Ajani's Mantra isn't powercreep, it's a reasonably costed effect. Of course, no competitive decks run it, but still...

If it were one per plains, that might be something. It'd still be pretty expensive, and have a chance of helping your opponent, too, but it'd be something.

DaaNz, there is no such thing as a plains symbol. If you mean the mana symbols in the casting cost, that's just what white mana symbols looked like in the early days of the game. It took us old-timers a while to get used to the new ones, when they changed the design.

Wow, a WHOLE life every turn?? This is so much, I just have to share it with my opponent who also runs White! Perhaps now we will be friends and he will stop attacking me. That is surely the logic behind this card.

I actually like this card - for a couple reasons. In multiplayer politics it's a good way to encourage your fellow players to build white decks. It's also got nice flavor - even if it is priced outrageously.

After the raw power of Farmstead, Wizards had to tone down lifegain somehow.
