Lifetap
Oracle Text
Whenever a Forest an opponent controls becomes tapped, you gain 1 life.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Lifetap is a deceptively narrow enchantment that shines in the right control or attrition shell, especially against green-heavy tables. At two blue mana, it asks you to stay disciplined while rewarding you for simply surviving long enough for opponents to keep using their Forests. In practice, this is best as a sideboard or metagame card in a tempo-control deck that wants to slow the game, counter key spells, and let incidental life gain offset chip damage. It pairs well with cards that encourage land tapping, such as mana dorks, land-untap effects, or bounce spells that force Forest-heavy opponents to replay and reuse their basics. In multiplayer, it can quietly accumulate a surprising cushion over several turns, buying time for a win condition like a planeswalker or evasive finisher. The theme is subtle but fitting: blue mages extracting vitality from nature’s own movement.
