🖋️ Curator's Notes

At the beginning of each end step, if you gained 3 or more life this turn, draw a card.

""'Live and learn!' as my gaffer used to say. Though he was thinking of gardening, not of roosting like a bird, nor of trying to walk like a spider." —Sam"

The Gaffer's ability looks at how much life you've gained in the turn, even if it wasn't on the battlefield when you gained life. It doesn't care if you also lost life, even if you lost more life than you gained.

2023-06-16

You draw just one card, no matter how much life you've gained past 3 life.

2023-06-16

If you haven't gained 3 or more life by the time an end step begins, The Gaffer's ability won't trigger at all.
