When We Were Young
Oracle Text
Up to two target creatures each get +2/+2 until end of turn. If you control an artifact and an enchantment, those creatures also gain lifelink until end of turn.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
When We Were Young reads like a nostalgic, instant-speed rally—a four-mana nudge that can turn a stalled attack into lethal or turn a losing block into a life-swing—so it best supports tempo and midrange plans that need a surprise pump or a late stabilizer. The modest +2/+2 to up to two creatures is especially potent in go-wide token or creature-aggro shells, while the conditional lifelink turns it into a comeback tool in longer games if you assemble an artifact and an enchantment. Build around the trigger easily: include a one-mana mana rock or recurring Treasure producer plus cheap enchantments or auras (or an enchantress package in Commander) so the lifegain is consistently available. Play it as a combat trick to close races, as a defensive save to trade favorably, or as a value play with lifegain synergies—think Ajani’s Pridemate or Soul Warden-style cards—that convert the temporary pump into permanent board and clock advantage. The card's title and instant timing thematically feel like rekindled strength at a moment’s notice.
