AMAZING! beacon of immortality saved my butt so many times... the ULTIMATE card for a life-gaining deck! Slap 4 of these babies in there and you're set! once used, they get SHUFFLED back into your library! so you can use them over and over and over again! The only two cons are that you have to have enough mana to pay for it, and, if you are already at low life points, its hard to regain... (excellent to have at the beginning of the game!)

Imagine this with Bringer of the Black Dawn. I don't need to explain the rest.

Life, life and more life, I've had over 3400 life thanks to this wonderful card, yes that's right 3400 and many times
over 2500, it's crazy but it works, just put 4 of these in a deck and you won't run out of life.

My buddy has a beacon of Immortality in his deck with 4 Congregate's. The other night he had over 10,000 life. Awesome card.

Here's a hint: Beacon of Immortality and Rain of Gore, targeting your opponent. Have fun guys.

Really good, and it got better with planar choas thanks to heroes remebered. Hint: Suspend heroes, then once you get that nice bushel of life, play this beacon, your opponent will hate you. just wish it was as easy to pull off as it is to say, but anyway its still good.

was only able to get one for my deck up to this point. works well with serra avatar. very funny watching peoples reactions when you play it too. slightly high mana cost but throw in some tithes or scroll racks if you need the mana.

The Problem with all cards that deal with lots of life gain is that False Cure stops them all, with this, it kills the caster, if they target themselves, which most people will. Because they would gain twice their life then lose quadruple the life gain, thus killing them.

Hate to break it to you Shalmoth but Rain of Gore only effects the controller of the spell so that combo would only work if you had a rain of gore out and your opponent played the beacon. Good idea though, and a pretty sweet card.

to go along with false cure. false cure says that if a player is to gain life this durn in deals that much damage to it. but becon doesnt neccacarly say u gain the life. it just doubles it. most cards dealing with life gaining says target player gains what ever life. this is the same with a card from farther back that target players life goes back to 20. the card has nothign to with gaining life.

U keep forgeting that life is not gained the total is just doubled. therefor rain of gore would not work.

this card is good because if left unchecked and not countered u will eventually have a life total 2 high 2 lose against beatdown and aagainst control with no counters kill with a man-land

It IS a life gain... This card DOES work great with False Cure.

Only 10 000? I got up so high one night that my calculator had to give it to me in scientific notation. It worked out in the billions.

False Cure works. According to Wizards: "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)."
