Leyline of Hope
Oracle Text
If this card is in your opening hand, you may begin the game with it on the battlefield.
If you would gain life, you gain that much life plus 1 instead.
As long as you have at least 7 life more than your starting life total, creatures you control get +2/+2.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Leyline of Hope acts as a compact, deck-defining engine for lifegain-based midrange and go-wide strategies: its ability to start on the battlefield gives immediate tempo and value, the “gain that much life plus 1” consistently accelerates your clock toward the +7 threshold (27 life in a 20-life game), and the resulting +2/+2 anthem turns incremental life gains into an abrupt board-wide upgrade. Build around repeatable, small life sources—Soul Warden/Soul’s Attendant, lifelink creatures, Heliod, Sun-Crowned, Alhammarret’s Archive or Well of Lost Dreams—to reliably reach the trigger and convert life into either bodies or card advantage; pairing it with cheap token producers or resilient creatures maximizes the anthem. Deckbuilding tip: prioritize multiple one- or two-point life triggers and a low curve so you can both defend and press the advantage once the boost kicks in, and treat opening hands with Leyline of Hope as keepable if your plan requires early stabilization.
