Angel of Vitality

A lifegain amplifier that turns itself into the payoff. It generates no life on its own; instead, a replacement effect skims a bonus point off every life-gain event around it. In isolation the +1 rider is trivial, but in aggregate it is the whole point: a Soul Warden trigger, a lifelink swing, a passive incremental tick, each quietly overshoots by one, and those ones are what carry your total across the 25-life line the Angel actually cares about. Clear that threshold and the flyer swells to a 4/4, a real clock rather than a defensive afterthought. The 25-life gate is the honest cost of the design: it demands you assemble an engine rather than run this as a standalone beater, and it switches off the instant an opponent burns you back under the line, so the body's size tracks the health of your life total in real time. It belongs to a long lineage of white lifegain enablers that reward density over any single big swing. What sets this one apart is that it occupies both ends of the chain at once: it is a multiplier that makes every other gain source slightly better, and a threshold reward that grows when those sources do their work. A three-mana flyer that wants nothing more than for the life to keep coming on curve.
