Life Burst

Built around a counting clause that escalates with every copy in every graveyard, this is a lifegain spell that rewards redundancy rather than power. The base four life is filler; the payoff arrives once multiple copies have already been cast and parked in graveyards, at which point each successive Life Burst stacks four more life per copy across the table. That structure makes it a card you play as a set, not a singleton: one is a weak instant, four is a snowballing wall of life that aggressive decks cannot punch through. The design sits in an early-era tradition of common spells whose value scaled with graveyard density, and this is the lifegain expression of that idea: the more redundant your deck, the steeper the curve gets. The wrinkle worth noting is that it counts graveyards belonging to every player, so in a mirror the copies your opponent has spent feed your own gain, turning a redundant common into a shared accumulator. As color-pie work it is white doing what white does at the cheap end (stalling, surviving, grinding the clock), but with a built-in incentive to flood the deck with identical cards rather than diversify, which runs against the usual deckbuilding instinct toward variety.
