Angel's Feather

One of five identically priced artifacts, each watching for a single color of spell and handing back a point of life when it appears. The trigger fires on any white spell from any player, but in practice the payoff comes mostly from your own casts, ticking up a point at a time as white spells stack up across a game. That symmetry is the design's whole character: it asks nothing beyond playing the color it tracks, and it rewards a board where white spells are dense rather than rare. The life arrives in single increments with no cap and no acceleration, so it never threatens to swing a game by itself; it pads a total slowly, a buffer rather than an engine. This is color-hate softened to near-harmlessness, a cheap incidental-lifegain design from an era when chipping a few points back against a known aggressive color felt like a plan and life total was treated as a resource worth padding deliberately. The cycle reads as a snapshot of that thinking: low enough to cost to run on speculation, weak enough that it never warps a board, and honest about what it is. Against a slower opponent it does little; against a deck flooding cheap white threats, the points quietly accumulate into something that matters.
