Aerith Gainsborough: The Steadfast Healer
Aerith Gainsborough arrives on the battlefield as a resilient presence in white Magic decks, embodying the spirit of life and renewal with subtle but impactful synergy. This legendary Human Cleric carries lifelink, allowing you to regain life through combat damage while steadily growing stronger with each gain of life thanks to the +1/+1 counters. Her ability to accumulate counters encourages a persistent board presence that rewards careful timing and strategic play.
When Aerith leaves the battlefield, her final act empowers your entire legendary army by distributing her accumulated strength as +1/+1 counters. This effect synergizes well in decks focused on legendary creatures, turning a single loss into a significant boost across your board. The card’s balanced stats and unique growth mechanic make Aerith a versatile choice for midrange or control strategies that value both longevity and incremental advantage.
