Hint: Behemoth Sledge / Loxodon Warhammer / Armadillo Cloak doubles this guy's power & toughness while giving you insane amounts of life! I'd really wish that Ageless Entity had protection from black .. that would have been nice, since black spot removal seems to be everywhere. I have yet to experience a Magic event where less than 60 % of all casual decks in some way splashed black for Shriekmaws & other removal :S

A sick, sick card! With a counter gaining ability that can potentially make it even more powerful than any printed card known in Magic, (save, perhaps Serra Avatar), All you need is an Armadillo Cloak, or even Doubling Season to create a monster of epic proportions! If possible, adding protection can reduce the chance of those pesky counterspells or destroy effects! A good idea is to use either Eladamri, Lord of Leaves because he can protect ALL your creatures from spells or abilities (no good if you want to use an Artifact or Enchantment). Or if that won't work, just use an Armadillo Cloak and Whispersilk Cloak...And watch your opponent squeal as you annihilate his life points!

Ridiculous, simply ridiculous, a 4/4 creature for 5 mana that gets permanently bigger every time you gain life! This is the staple card in my main elf deck because when it is coupled with Wellwisher the stats climb faster than anything. The first time I tested it out with Wellwisher I managed to get it to around a 300/300 creature in only eight short turns. My opponent was over killed by a lot. The only reason this card isn’t banned is because not enough people are utilizing it. I would have given it 6 stars!

Building this into a deck with Martyr of Sands, Nourish, and Stream of Life will produce on hell of an overpowered creature. Partner it with Phantom Wings or something to give it trample.

Damn good! Beacon of Immortality on turn 6 (you play it turn 5) and you can get something like a 24/24 creature.

Well... whats there to say Its a fairly good card, being a 4/4 for five, its not that good in that respect, but damnit if you can gain life on the go its great. My reccommended strategy for this card is to enchant it with armadillo cloak or a simiilar card so it doubles every turn.

Will be one of the best card of the time. Nourish with isocron scepter are nothing. Play it like a 'Serra Avatar' but with life doubling combo. (easy hint: 'Loxodon Warhammer')

Amazing card. Works brilliantly with nourish on an Isochron sceptre.
